I understand that Herne Hill Farmers Market now has organic buffalo butter, they keep the animials in a paddock in Brockwell park and you are allowed to hand milk them and churn your own product. Absolute delish. There are plans to introduce alpacas next.

I really want some craft butter - are the butters in the General Store and Mons crafted or manufactured butters?

Yes- it was the first science experiment I was set. We were given a small glass bottle with a screw top to take home and told to put milk in it and shake it...it works!

Gentle fun, not malicious - I leave that to others. You can get buffalo butter, not sure about alpaca though. I expect a hand churned product is very expensive, You'll probably get it in an agritourism type place in Italy, Croatia and the like. I miss the tart yogurt of my childhood - commercially produced but very different. Returning to Brockwell Park there is of course the country fair, https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/events/lambeth-country-show


Good to get away from Brexit for a few moments.

I don't tend to go out of ED much, though I did go to a 50th birthday party just over the hill in Sydenham last Saturday!

I think the major brand of hand churned butter available is called "Crafty Nutter"....but its only available from 100% plastic free vendors...so you have to take a scoop home in your hands....

Where can you get the vegan craft butter? I presume they use almond or soya butter?

1p from every tub of craft butter sold at my local organic, gluten free farmers market stall, goes to help weave new sleeping bags out of leftover artisan loaves for the homeless to use.


so I feel good.

The sleeping bags made out of artisan loaves. Very interesting. 5 loaves - was there any fish involved?

      Clean Air Dulwich - who are they?

      By Rockets · Posted

      Ha ha...are you sure...if I remember rightly someone leaked it to Peter Walker at the Guardian and he "selectively plucked" some headlines for his article and as you read the article you realised he was absolutely Peter Walker'ing his coverage with some absolute, bleedingly obvious, pearls like: A copy of the report seen by the Guardian said that polling carried out inside four sample LTNs for the DfT found that overall, twice as many local people supported them as opposed them. The leak to him was about getting some pro-LTN spin on the story before the government put their anti-LTN spin on it!   CleanAirDulwich is a bit misleading isn't it as they are actually an anti-car, pro-cycling lobby group who don't actually talk about clean air in Dulwich at all - unless, of course, you think cycling is the cure-all for all pollution problems!? All of their content seems to be weighed very heavily, ahem, to just one form of active travel....

      Is there a viable alternative to Sadiq?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Britain First took things to another extreme: "London is fast becoming a Third World cesspit, where crime is rampant and radical Islamist extremists dominate the streets!"  Probably the best outcome for Scanlon is that Orpington returns to Kent, although that would be unfair both on the residents of Kent, and many who live in the London Borough of Bromley irrespective of who the voted for. Hooray for Count Binface eh?

      I don't think attacking an academic is particularly helpful.  The work was commissioned through a proper process.  Findings similarly would have been rigorously examined.  Government weren't particularly happy with the outcome and tried to bury it, but somebody in government thought this wrong and leaked it.  Government put their spin on it, which governments do, but the data gave some positive outcomes. My issue is with those who continue to drive whatever barriers (physical and others) are put in their place.  Hopefully with time more will use cars less, share journeys, decide that the journey is not essential eg working from home instead etc.  CleanAirDulwich, from my take, are mainly pushing active transport; one more journey walked is one less car on the road.
