Provisional Soup Kitchen Late Fridays/ Lobster Soup vs Cooked Water Soup

[SofiaSt]

For everyone that is coming down to Peckham for the Late Fridays Exhibitions...

Provisional Soup Kitchen is a small cafe based in the front room of a tailors inside the Copeland Road Estate Park. It is run by artists and we hope to serve everyone in the community with affordable, good quality, made with love lunches based in the idea of the soup. We also have a proper coffee machine! For the last Fridays, since there will be so much activity with plenty of art openings at the estate and elsewhere -Hannah Barry Gallery, Foodface Projects, Son Gallery, Arcadia Missa and Sunday Painter- we will stay open and we will present:

Provisional Rags and Riches

Lobster Soup vs Cooked Water Soup

Lobster soup is arguably the Gastronomic Queen Mother of all Western soups. The hedonistic combination of lobster and cognac laced with lashings of cream have graced the tables of many an art patron.

Cooked Water Soup (Aquacotta) is said to have originated in rural Tuscany before the Thomas Cook crowd fell in love with it. It is the frugal marriage of few vegetables and herbs boiled in water rendered more palatable with the addition of a bread rusk. But for all its humble ingredients, it is packed with earthy flavours and of course plenty of honesty.

Come and try both at Provisional Soup Kitchen this coming Friday from 18.00 till 22.00.

In true spirit of egalitarianism, you can have either soup for ?3.50/portion.

All Welcome!

Just to say that we went last night to the "soup kitchen" and can confirm that both the lobster soup and the Aquacotta soup were absolutely delicious. The aquacotta was packed with vegetables and herbs - I'd say it tasted of good health, but it was more interesting than that - the toasted bread it came with was excellent too. As for the lobster soup - it was good to see proper chunks of lobster in the thick creamy broth too. These soups were clearly made with love and attention - and a whole load of good well-sourced ingredients. It wasn't a surprise to hear that the chef from the deli Frog on the Green had a hand to play in the venture.

Lovely people too - I heartily recommend you wander along.

Careful, old bean, that lobster contains prostaglandin. Save it until you have the 'get that thing out of me NOW!' screaming abdabs.

At 38 weeks that's exactly what I'm after - this thing's fully cooked and just freeloading now ... And this is a woman ready for some pate and soft cheese!

Oh well, if you're up for it, the optimum scenario is this:

Take a cab, put cabbie in blinkers and instruct him to drive up and down roads with speed humps. Meanwhile, indulge in furious sex while eating a lobster curry.

That should do it.

Thank you Bellenden Belle for such a lovely review. It was great last night, such a positive response from people! We are looking forward to doing more events like yesterday's. Other than that, we are open Mon-Fri lunchtime, 11am-3pm, catering the local community with hearty, affordable, quality soup meals and general community spirit in these dreary January days! Feel free to come by and say hello!

Hello again. I hope it is alright for me to post about our different events here.

Have a look at our Valentine's Menu attached and why not visit us at the day to experience a "Bohemian Royal Family" menu at the front room of a tailor's at the centre of Peckham!

Hi SofiaSt

The original post named:

Provisional Soup Kitchen Late Fridays/ Lobster Soup vs Cooked Water Soup

made me think that I would be able to get a free meal from your Soup Kitchen, but now having seen that it is just an advertisement for you and no meal for the needy. it is now proof by you altering the name to;

Dr Valentines Recipes and Love Potions new

A very thoughtless Post. Posted in the wrong place go to the correct forum.
