Haha yep it was bacon sandwiches that made my younger brother fall off the veggie wagon (after being brainwashed by me when I used to be veggie. He had also agreed to save all his pocket money to contribute towards a horse that I wanted.) Those were the days.

Do you mean sweetbreads? (thymus or pancreas usually veal or lamb) If they're not soaked for long enough and blanched properly the flavour will suffer. I like my offal mixed like in a haggis or in faggots which I ate a lot growing up in the Midlands.


Faggots, gravy and mushy peas in a batch with pepper and vinegar! slurrrp.

Good for you strafer.


I dont currently have the money at the moment to always buy from pretty's or smbs, although wa sin there today and their tomatoes are super, great taste!


i recently read a book 'we want real food' which really spurred me on to buy organic and local. Hopefully ill have the money soon and then yes you'll see me at the grocers all the time!


although a vegan who is against all animal products, I am please in dulwich we have good butchers / moxons for fish, so i would encourage people who do it meat to source it from there.

No...


I get Pork & Beef direct from the farmer/smallholder. Some from Smithfield market or the Butcher. Some from the shoot/gamekeeper during the season.


NETTE:)

Mick mac - I think this thread can survive another diversion - weve had ponces, glacier cherries, picture of mohitoes, the game shooting season, rearing pork pies and boiling pigs heads!


i tried the dulwich farmers market today - super!

Thomas - don't forget potential tomato theft :) (btw, can you not grow some in pots or a window box or share an allotment or something?)


Some supermarkets do sell good British (from East Anglia) tomatoes at a fairly reasonable price. Just don't put them anywhere near the fridge when you get home. I think its Morrisons that do these so you don't have to splash out at some of the pricier delis.

Ha I can hereby clarify I am not a tomato thief and I have never (and never will) use forced rhubard.

Yes I should be growing some tomatoes just haven't had the time - something for the future!

Toms from the market were actually cheaper than local tescos.

I'm more of a foodie than an animal rights activist, but in this case I support Tom's campaign and was one of the people who asked Beauberry House to take foie gras off the menu. It is good to see that local restaurants take customer feedback seriously - everyone should have the right (and initiative!) to speak up for what they want & do not want to see on local menus.

There are plenty of food choices - veggie & meat alike - without having to resort to force-feeding animals to make a "luxury" item.

So what about all the people that do wish to eat Foie Gras at Beauberry House? Presumably we'll have to petition them to bring it back?


And then you'll do the opposite and repeat ad nauseam.


If you don't like foie grad then don't bloody eat it but don't prevent others from having the choice to order if they so wish.


Irritating vegan campaigners, I care less know for your meddling politics than I ever did before.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
