Hands down the best coffee from General Store on Bellenden road. Not open on Monday and Tuesday.

Yep - due to open 'Summer' that is looking optimistic, and BoxPark currently floating September...

Comparing raw pollock with cooked cod is a bit misleading

Croydon branch is excellent too. Pretty much a carbon copy of Franco Manca in all but a few menu options.

Westfield open soon? If you think 2020 is soon, then you might be right! It looks like BoxPark, where I think MeatLiquor may be opening a branch, is going to be opening September at the earliest - so if they are focussing on that first, expect a long wait.

It is not a batty way of measuring things, but it is a potty way of measuring things *accurately*. A cup of chopped walnuts varies hugely to a cup of walnuts, chopped. It can make a difference to a recipe. With cheap electric Tare scales so readily available and so quick to use I find cups rather unnecessary, but then again this all goes out the window if using imperial measurements. Using a baker's percentage method - or scalable metric ratios - allow you to scale recipes up and down so much more easily than with either imperial or cup. All that said - get a cup measure, and use it when needed in a recipe. As far as I remember the cheap white plastic cups (that might get filled with orange squash on sports day) are 240ml, the size of an american cup - if you can't find a fancy metal one.

Urm, a cup measurement will only really be used in an american recipe, and yes a cup will contain different weights of different ingredients. It's a pretty potty way of measuring things accurately. The Tala measure has one unchanging line for american cup measurements - you might as well just use a cup. Tala measuring cup is useful for quick measuring of different ingredients that DON'T use an american cup system.

There is a BMC in Croydon too... They're spreading.

Toasted. Today's menu has about 6 meat free dishes I would shove in my face with delight. http://toastdulwich.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Dinner12.pdf

Superb lamination. Genevieve also makes one of the best flat whites in all of the South East.

Good spot Mick Mac. First Base would be a great name... *doddles off*

A classic response to a post about Classic Lofts. Will go straight into my classic posts about lofts folder.

I was almost glad to miss the first 15 minutes trying to get in the match was so dull. That said, the atmosphere, as always, was great and the goal was worth waiting for. Billericay had the best chances and we were lucky to have Phil and some fortunate last ditch defending to save us.

I should have said "organised" :D
