Duck egg

Recommended Posts

Well Greengod liked it enough to post about it and recommend it to everyone, he/she can't be 'wrong' because its down to personal taste. So say what YOU prefer, but don't phrase it like the OP is wrong.

I doubt the OP is now thinking "oh yeah, it was actually a rubbish breakfast - those clever EDFers just made me realise...doh !!".

You will also be aware of the British sea-front cafe technique.


Always sit in the window seat. You will get a larger diameter plate and a bigger portion.

I haven't been to the ED branch but had lunch in the Brixton one on Saturday. I thought ?4.50 was a little steep for a chicken and avocado sandwich which turned out to be just cooked chicken breast, slices of rather hard avocado between two slices of processed seeded bread that seemed suspiciously like Saisburys seeded bread that i buy for toast. No salad, no garnsih not nothing. Whilst not a bad sandwich, i would have been happy with it from a trad old style greasy spoon cafe for ?2.50, i expected a lot more for ?4.50

Haven't been in yet but looked at their menu in the window on Saturday and thought the prices were definitely at the top end for an ED breakfast.


The picture posted above hasn't encouraged me to venture in, I must say.


Greengod, when you say your brunch was "cooked just as I asked", what did you ask for?

Please don't think I'm being "funny", and fair enough that you thought it was good food, but how can you post that it was "value for money" if you don't know how much it was?


Sorry, I know that sounds rude but I can't find a more tactful way of putting it :(

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
