You can hear the sizzling and hissing first, then comes the delicious aroma of gourmet sausages jumping around on a hotplate at the Posh Boys Bangers stall at London’s popular Borough Markets. There’s a big line up for them too as the skies turn grey on day one of a London market trawl.

“What’s it to be love – smoked Toulouse or beef chorizo are our top sellers,” says one of the “posh boys.”

I go for the smoked Toulouse and manage to squeeze into a seat beside a local who tells me Borough Market that sits within the shadow of London Bridge is “the” place to come for the best produce ever. After my beef chorizo – I have to agree – it’s probably the best sausage I have tasted.
