Nor have I, I'd be a bit worried about the hygiene factor. However, it didn't stop Peter Jones in Sloane Square from selling a particular blend in 2008 for ?50 a cup for charity.


Not sure Anderson's in Bellenden Road would have the nerve to try selling coffee at that price though.

When you're in Vietnam you see packets and packets of "weasel" coffee which is supposed to be this stuff they've shat out.


Bollox.


you'd have to have farms of weasels eating and pooing these coffee beans out 24/7 to make the volume they sell. Marketing nonsense for tourists.


And yes, ?2.50 is pricey. But that sums up Andersons well - along with the sour service. Medium black coffee.....?2 max.

We have some of that weasle coffee at work, a chinese guy brought it back - but we only used it once - still have it I think.


Interesting to know if its a true method of production, he seemed to think it was.



Americano at Denmark Hill station (segafredo?) is ?1.45.

I thought Anderson's service had improved. But their cake prices have gone up a fair bit as well. I seem to remember they were offering a shot of expresso when they opened for about a pound. Not sure how that translates to ?2.50 for a black Americano though.

Well if Anderson's in Bellenden Road is Charging ?2.50 for a black Americano...


Then they are much more Trendy than all the Cheepo coffee shops in ED.


ED coffee shops will need to charge ?3.50 to regain their Status and Respect...


Can't have ED Folk drinking in anything other than the most expensive outlets. Mwah..

Well the best cup of coffee I had was high on a volcano overlooking Ubud in Bali, sat in a farm full of weasels eating and pooing these coffee beans out 24/7! Very friendly they were too.


They use that clever nose of theirs to sniff out the ripest beans, and then their gut enzymes breakdown many of the chemicals that make coffee taste bitter - so the cleaned and roasted beans are some of the smoothest you can get!


I have it on good authority that the Vietnamese cat poo coffee isn't the real thing - but it's stuff that's been chemically treated to taste similar.


It's not unlike the dark days pre EU when anyone could claim to make Parmesan, Parma gam or Bordeaux wine - these terms were considered by rapacious businessmen to be 'styles' rather than a measure of authenticity.


I recommend to coffee fans to NOT taste real cat poo coffee, as everything else will seem a poor substitue afterwards.

the omnipresent helen graves rates Andersons as #8 in the list of top food places in peckham

read and then reread the article - it appears that she have never actually there, but like the look of things, so its worthy of a ranking. A food critic who compiles her top 10 lists of foodie places by looking through the fucking window


The bread is good from andersons FYI.

To be fair though, its worth paying a premium NOT to have to go to Blue Mountain

The bread is from Blackbird, so not very original. I saw the blog you linked to. She hasn't been to Melange either.

Black Americano is now ?1.50 at Blue Mountain. I don't have a problem with going in there for a take-away.

this is unrelated to coffee but related to price - i paid ?3 for a brownie in andersons last week - is this a little bit expensive??? considering most brownies in borough market are 1.50 - 2.50...and this brownie was nice, but nothing special, and i had it to take away. if i had of known the price before i bought it, i wouldn't have bothered...

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
