Le Chardon sold


Recommended Posts

When the Chinese medicine place opened at the Plough end of LL I asked the new owner not to rip out the old tiles. She thought it an odd request, and I don't blame her in part because what do decades old decor with a butcher theme have to do with oriental medicine, but she left it intact - ready for when the next but her arrived. It's worth asking the new proprietor to do the same. Anyone want to volunteer?

There is very little difference between a Tart and a Quiche.


Tarts often are filled with fruit, Quiche filled with vegetables egg cheese. But that is not the difference.


The pastry can vary for both but that does not determine the difference.


Both can be eaten cold or hot. Quiche (warm)


The main difference is not the filling, but the depth of filling.

Quiches tend to have a deeper filling.


Note:- It is not determined by having a pastry lid.

Ah..no... French House do "tarte flambee" which is similar to a pizza, from the Alsace region. Not really a tart at all - certainly wouldn't meet Fox's criteria!

It looks like the interior tiles will be kept. Adam at "Tart", the new owners, has said:


"I can quickly reassure you that we shall most definitely be respecting the period character of the shop."


That is very good news indeed.

A good quality flan is available from Ayres in Nunhead. I buy them often. This place sounds like it's offering something similar but with a different name. Be interested to see prices. I think often they simply change the names to baffle people into buying something "different" which is in effect a flan with a few extras chucked it. Don't see why the name has to be changed personally, I suppose the products will be at a premium price in comparison.

An English Tart is sweet (in the main) a continental one more likely savoury, Pie's have lids, English flans are savoury tarts and/ or tarts with a college education, a quiche is made with a set egg custard filling (with additional items - so a quiche Lorraine is with bacon). In England tarts and flans will be made in a dish, pies either in a dish or (raised pies with crust using a hard paste) self-standing. All these are oven-cooked. Puddings are made with a suet crust or in a suet dough and can be savoury or sweet, and will be boiled/ steamed to cook.
