The Good Samaritan Who Served Me The Best Ever Street Food.

For years since 2011 when I moved to nearby Nunhead, I had passed Salas Wraps many times with much not thought to try the menu.

More recently I had noted a wonderful feature about Salas Food Truck in the most informative publication The Peckham Peculiar, and was now determined to give Salas a try.

On 4th September between 10.32 and 10.38hrs I somehow managed to lose all bank and travel cards, with just ?4 left in cash I managed to buy Milk and fruit essentials, desperate for a small cigar I had mislaid my matches, in vain I walked from Morrisons & up Rye Lane searching for anyone that could lend me a light, finally I stopped by at the food truck and asked Salas if he could spare a light, and sure enough I was able to calm my slightly frayed nerves. I then mentioned to Salas about the loss of my cards, that I had spent all my change but was determined to try out the menu quite soon.

Then without any prompting Salas turned to me and said ?Would you like to try a Chicken Wrap with all the extras?? completely blown away and gratefully accepted I just could not get over such a lovely selfless gesture.

I enjoyed watching the preparation and assumed the mass of chicken pieces being cooked were for several orders, but no it was for me, presented with the signature Shawarma, tender pieces of succulent chicken dressed in mouth watering spices and some salad, this was a massive wrap and for ?5 ( when charged ) I have never had a more tasty delicious wrap in all my sixty years, by comparison to other wraps this was at least two thirds more in volume, often at festivals and food markets I have been charged anything up to ?9.

When leaving I thanked Salas with an this assurance: ?On my next visit rest assured I will repay you for the wrap? then without hesitation Salas replied ?No this is on me.?

Well Salas you so made my day, thank-you for being such a lovely Samaritan, you are a real gentleman with a very generous heart.

In excited anticipation I can?t wait to try the rest of the menu, EVERY dish excites my imagination.

So if you know this food truck and have always done the ?walk on by? next time stop and order something from the menu, you will be blown away and never look back.

Salas Wraps you deserve far more recognition.

    • I would like to understand this promise by the Greens in greater detail and how it applies locally? Presumably road/pavement upkeep and renewal is as important for cyclists and pedestrians as motorists? I am not aware of plans to build new roads locally but there has been plenty of money spent on converting roads into pedestrian only areas. On the face of it this feels a slightly empty statement, when applied at local level. I'd love to know the Greens stance in hiring out parks for private use (given impact on park environment), I'd also like to understand their stance on fireworks- I will look to see if I can find anything. I don't know if a manifesto exists under the documents section of Southwark Greens, but you can only access that bit by signing in- which is disappointing. If anyone has a manifesto that reflects local priorities- could they post a link?
    • You are most likely correct in thinking that  Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew it.  But they obviously thought that his skills, abilities and usefulness far outweighed the negatives. Here is a summary of the positives lifted from elsewhere:-   1. Strategic Architect: He was a primary architect of "New Labour," rebranding the party and shifting its core ideology to win the 1997 general election. 2 Master of Communication: Often called the original "spin doctor," he revolutionised how political parties manage the media. He famously created the "grid" system to coordinate government messaging. 3 Networking and Charm: Known as "Silvertongue," he possesses a peerless ability to charm and network with high-level global figures, including business leaders and heads of state. 4. Governance and Trade Expertise: Beyond strategy, he was considered a highly efficient minister, serving as European Commissioner for Trade and Secretary of State across multiple departments, including Business and Northern Ireland.  5. Reinvention: His capacity to adapt to changing political climates and rebuild relationships reflects personal resilience and strategic flexibility. With his skill and abilities, he delivered results for all his bosses. In the short time in Washington, he found a way to get on the right side of Trump - despite him  being critical of Trump in previous years. That said he is complex personality.  He can be simultaneously brilliant and arrogant, thick-skinned yet sensitive, and selfless for his party while appearing narcissistic in his personal dealings.  My OP asked if he would be accepted over the pond. It turned out he was because he got on famously with trump. He worked out the correct strategy to get on the good side of Trump and secured a better trade deal than the EU and other nations.    
    • Malumbu, do you happen to know what the current figure is for "trips into town made by walking, cycling and public transport"? 
    • Before voting, do you not think it's logical to evaluate each party on its policies and make a tally of the reasons "For" and "Against" voting for each party.
