Or invest in an airfare to the subcontinent, eat 600 meals whilst there, come back and don't dine out Indian for a couple of years - and you're quids in....

Ganapati is in Peckham.


I was talking about the LL restaurants.

Tooting, (a place with a massive Indian Comunity) is overpriced and pretentious?


I think Fox has just joined the Sith Form debating club.


Ha ha! Come on Foxtrot, you're baiting for attention now aren't you, now all the big mean boys have left you're missing being at the centre of some attention.


Silly Furboy .

Come on Seabugsy


How much stick did I. Me, Foxy get for giving negative accounts of local outlets over the years ???


Now when I give Positive accounts of local outlets I STILL get stick.


You cant have it both ways.


Foxy.


ETA. With the gang of 4 it was always personal. Was it a 'Clique' ?

Well, they all stopped posting at the same time. They just needed each other for back up.

I stand on my own two feet.

I can see this developing into a Spartacus debate.


I'm the man !!

For some reason, whenever anybody disagrees, for perfectly valid reasons which they give, with something DF has posted he takes it as a personal slight rather than a disagreement with his views.


If everybody did that, even more people would be leaving the forum in droves ......


Actually there's a logical error in that last sentence, isn't there, but you know what I mean .....

Took an old workmate who lives in Penge to Memsaab last Friday.

We do not usually meet up but he was so impressed he texted me for a repeat curry at Memsaab tonight.


Will be my 5th curry at Memsaab + 2 more at Jaflong Tandoori in last 12 days.


Getting back to my old ways..

No.. he is going through a lengthy, painful and potentially expensive divorce.

Also job changes. Just needs a couple of beers and a decent curry.

..Oh and someone to buy out his other halves share in their three story house in Penge.


Foxy

I go away for a few days and you all start fighting. Certainly not having a curry with you.


Comfort food? Well I suppose there are foods that I like that may seem the same to many but I can tell the difference between different cafes chips, fried eggs, ketchup and beans. Funnily enough the Regency doesn't do the best fry up, despite its authenticity and popularity.


As for pie and mash, always did Goddards in Greenwich which I am pleased to see back.


Barbur? Fusion not Anglo-Indian if that makes any sense. And sooooo expensive so only on special occasions.


Gurkhas is fine. I did like the Indian Dining Club in Norwood, but last time has some bizarre thing in a pastry crust.

  • 2 weeks later...

Had a take away from Memsaab last night- very disappointing. The last 4 occasions we've had a take away the food has just got worse. We've had either Lamb madras, naga chicken, chicken madras, veggie korma, veggie dhansak, chicken and veggie biryanis, onion bhajis, samosas,

The curries just seemed to be very watery with not much flavour. The naga chicken was a big favourite but now it's just so incredibly hot you can't really eat it. Yes, it's a hot dish with naga chillies but it's spoilt when ( it appears so much chilli is used) you can't even enjoy it. The biryanis seem very bland. Onion bhajis over fried -unable to eat.

Not sure if they are so busy that the food is just rushed out.


It's such a shame as when this restaurant first opened their food was delicious and fresh. Couldn't fault it.

Crikey, that takes me back to my student days, the student caff used to do curry and chips :))

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
