I have just returned from and wonderful trip to Canterbury, Kent in the United Kingdom. Nordic Food Lab sent me there to work with Miles Irving's business Forager, which harvests wild plants to sells to restaurants. This first post will be about the beautiful storybook town of Canterbury, while the post to follow will highlight my foraging adventures.
While walking through the town it seemed like castles and cathedrals would just pop-up out of nowhere. You would be walking along down the main pedestrian shopping street or though some neighborhood and then *BAM* the tall spindly spires rising up over the buildings would catch you eye, reminding you of the rich history this city holds which dates all the way back to the first century AD (but the Cathedrals and other remains are mostly from the 14th century on).

Kent is incredibly lush! The roads are narrow and winding tunneled with thick green vegetation. Never have a seen a place so densely green and rich.
I was recommended by just about everyone to visit The Goods Shed, a small farmers market and 'food hall'. Its located in an old train depot that has been refurbished into a beautifully rustic space. Open 6 days a week, they offer fresh local produce, meats, fish, cheeses and prepared foods.
