Flat White (New Zealanders have moved to East Dulwich?)

ooops ! did I miss something. No Nothing :D)

Romeo Jones in Dulwich Village does the best coffee by far, however you want it ! And it's cheaper and much nicer than Starbucks , Costa etc.

Just seen your message - thank you very much! Please say hello the next time you visit us. Patrick.

Bacon and Egg Pie?! Wow!

"I'm sure it is - but PECKHAM ? Is a good coffee worth being shanked for ? is a nice biscotti an acceptable prelude to a drive by shooting by crack addled hoodies out joyriding and looking to sate their SE15 bloodlust ? lets keep this ED please. we dont want any of that SE 15 stuff innit bludz."

I live in East Dulwich and I do not appreciate this comment at all. I wander into Peckham practically every weekend, and I've come across many really nice people. Let's not be like the readers of the Daily Mail, and put everyone into the same sack, unless of course you are one, and frankly that would explain a comment such as this.

[peckhamboy]

Those nice people must be the exception that proves the rule. Peckham is a horrible place, where you are more likely to be knifed or mugged than to get a drinkable coffee, and we certainly don't want you 'orrible ED lot coming along and trying to change that.

Incidentally, the cafe on Bellenden Rd near the Victoria does a decent coffee (sorry, can't remember its name).

sorry mrnzjac:

"just don't ask them about being part of the colonies or the british royal family!"

absolutely nothing wrong with loving the british royal family and being a british colony, apologies if i hit a nerve...

[martin]

it's just that my friend mike from wellington is a die-hard new zealand republican and thinks of the british royal family as a bunch of lunatic in-bred prussian scroungers:

ergo, having a british royal family and being seen as a colony to him, well one can see his point...

kind regards

This has been bugging me for a few days now - what is a bacon and egg pie? Is it like a quiche type thing? Or we talking something more along the lines of a pastie tyoe arrangement?

ETA - Sorry to take the thread slightly off topic.

[Pickle]

Bacon and egg pie is the ultimate kiwi picnic food. In a pastry case (puff or flaky pastry) like a normal pie, but full of bacon and eggs. Some people add other things, but the version I remember as a kid is simply bacon and eggs.

Here's a link to a recipe (although I'm still on the lookout for someone's tried and tested recipe):

Might have to make one of these this weekend!

[LAWED]

Awww, getting homesick for Kiwi food now! And lolly cake - now that brings back fond memories :)

Who would have thought there were so many Kiwis around here?! And sharing the love Lovin' it!

[Pickle]

Mmmmmm, lolly cake - not possible to make here as you can't get ingredients close enough to their NZ equivalents. My Mum always sends me some in my Christmas box :)

I recently spent a stupid amount of money online ordering all sorts of NZ goodies - K bars, toffee milks, pineapple lumps, rashuns, Griffins gingernuts, toffee pops (I'm pregnant, that's my excuse!).

[richardbach]

[wee quinnie]

I had to google lollycake - it does look good (as does the e and b pie). HOwever, (possible sacrilege coming up), lolly cake sounds a bit like.........fifteens

The chocolate covered bananas in Hope and Greenwood are the nearest I have come to marshmellow easter eggs (my particular weakness) much cheaper than the extortionate prices for the real marshmellow-y goodness available at Kiwifruits. Although this does not always prevent purchase of the real thing at Easter...

I have been searching for a decent flat white (back to that) for a decade - South London Gallery makes the best I've found anywhere near here. Monmouth is good, and that Taylor St place (is that the one up the arcade in the city? if so, yes + lamingtons). I assume all the Ozzie cafes in London will do a proper one as well. Wouldn't mind finding a decent spirulina and maybe a proper savoury muffin for ballast. PS I have an original Atomic cookbook fm the mid-1990s(leaving pressie)can't say I've ever cooked anything from it as I'm a bit basic woman's weekly rather than ottolenghi, however if anyone wants a borrow I'll happily lend out.

[peckhamboy]

Outside ED, the best coffee I've had in London is from Prufrock (Leather Lane, Shoreditch and Whitecross mareket), with honourable mentions to Taylor St, and of course Monmouth. In ED, best coffees IMO are from Jacks and Homemade.

[telegramsam]

It may not be East Dulwich but we can highly recommend Federation Cafe in Brixton Market Village. The coffees are all NZ/Aus style. I am not a milk drinker but appreciate being able to ask for a 'long black' and then get what I was expecting. What is an absolute pleasure is their bacon and egg pie, if you know a good one you don't need it described just go and try it- quite small pieces but I am just greedy. Other delights are friands, ANZAC biscuits and we have even seen Russian fudge there. In short, if you are a NZer it will feel satisfyingly familiar, if you are not you will simply think it has superb coffee and food.

Well for sure you could always bring along your own grappa in a flask, we serve segafredo.

As for flat whites, we don't have it on the menu, but when asked, do oblige with the customers version, as each seem to differ!

Flat white is Australian to be precise. If you want a good Australian flat white and you work in the City, try Taylor Street Baristas. They sell lamingtons too!

Absolutely daft. How many combinations of coffee/water/milk to people need?
