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.

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

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
