Borough Market

[annwfyn]

pierot, ksirafai and I went to Borough Market this afternoon, hunting for interesting food for dinner.

We found interesting food for dinner (poussin stuffed with assorted cool stuff) and also found a variety of other amazing things.

We found a shark displayed on a fishmonger's stall...




We found strangely named whiskey...




We also found very weird tobacco chocolate...




We also found baklava, but I refuse to put up pictures of baklava as that always misses the exceedingly decadent point of them. I had one piece of walnut baklava and I'm still feeling exceedingly fat!

In other news, I had an hour in college today, and then class broke up for tutorials, which are continuing next Thursday (when my tutorial is) and Friday. I'm also feeling slightly odd. This is, technically, my third Masters. If you don't count the Scottish Masters I got from Edinburgh, then it is my second Masters. It's my fourth year in postgraduate education. It's also the first year where I am going to be doing something which is not, in any way, shape or form, a taught Masters. It is a research based Masters which is strangely scary and also means that apparently everything I was taught last year is meant to be enough to carry me on my way into independent research. It must be said, I'm feeling strangely insecure right now...

Ah, John, Mark and Robbo. Noble sentiment - they made three whiskies, that all tasted very distinct, and branded them for the layperson, in an attempt to make whisky accessible.

Sadly, their whiskies were not very good, and I understand they've folded, or at least given up on the UK.

Oh that's a shame! They are still selling their wares at Borough Market at the moment - at least two of their brands anyway.

It's... still... alive...

This is a fish market in Hong Kong we went to. This fish head was still breathing.

Aieeeda!

That actually makes me feel rather bad about eating fish!

They'd eat you if they had the chance. It's a life or death struggle Mano a Fisho.

I deny all knowledge of any random bottoms! I was rather distracted by THE ATTACK OF THE FISHMONGER'S STALL.

I think most people would have been in my situation.

If you don't count the Scottish Masters I got from Edinburgh

Is that because it was a combined undergrad thingy?

And I sympathise on the multiple postgrad thing!

Is that because it was a combined undergrad thingy?

Pretty much entirely. I'm basically mostly unconvinced that I worked any harder on my four year degree than my English friends did on their three year degrees. T'other two postgrad qualifications which I did as actual separate courses were much harder.

I get the impression that a lot of people north and south of the border feel that way about courses like Mphys where the undergrad and postgrad are lumped together.
