Agriculture Question.


It might be possible that your book does not include Dulwich.


An answer.


One of the last was:


BELAIR

The house was built in 1785 for John Willes, a cornfactor of Whitechapel and was known as College Place. It was renamed Belair by a later resident Charles Ranken, a solicitor. It was enlarged to provide 47 rooms when Charles Hutton, a wool merchant and sheriff lived there with his wife, 11 children and ten servants. It remained a private house until 1938 when it was owned by Sir Evan Spicer, a paper merchant. At this time it still had a farm with animals and hayfields, orchards and kitchen gardens. Southwark leased Belair in 1946 for recreation purposes but the house was in a poor state after the war and had to be largely rebuilt. The Victorian extensions were removed at this time. The buildings were deteriorating again in the council's ownership but have now been made into an elegant restaurant with function rooms. The former coachhouse by Gallery Road has also been renovated. The grounds remain a public park.

Katie, i'm sure you'll put your own twist on these but here's the basic recipe.


( as requested )


Nette:-S


Ps. It's a brilliant book, there's even a recipe for 'Hot Bacon Sandwich' which if I wasn't on the gluten free tip, i'd be keen on trying.

Dear Benny (Mr)



I must correct you on one point, the fabric which you describe is in fact a classical print in the 'Chinoiserie' style.


The term Vintage has been misused on this occasion, it's better employed to describe old toot often found on the market stalls in East Dulwich, aimlessly browsed by salmon corded mandies. Though you might be more familiar with the term 'bric-a-brac' or if you're a bit of a ponce 'brocantes'


Otherwise I suggest looking at the Colefax & Fowler back catalogue or heaven forbid Osbourne & Little, though the idea of putting a penny more into that w@nker Gidion's pocket chills me to the corset.


Lastly, it is ( how shall I put this ) a bit of a 'Margaret' look, don't you think.


Best confined to the fetid corners of you dirty-dorset mind.

Oh, are we back to 'A'?


In that case Nette do you have the original recipe for Cheese Aigrettes as given by Mrs Glasse in 1747 (possibly as 'water fritters') and should they really be served with sugar and orange water?

In the interests of conformity I offer this for B...


Berkshire Jugged Steak.


Take a 2lb rump steak cut into cubes, put into earthenware jar with one onion studded with cloves, some diced carrot and celery, a teaspoon of mushroom ketchup and s&p. Do NOT add water or fat, put sealed jar in boiling water and simmer for 2 hours.

The word arse in English derives from the Germanic root *arsaz, which originated from the Proto-Indo-European root *ors ? meaning buttocks or backside

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
