When, oh when will all those retailers with panettone do the decent thing and get it in the sale? I am esp. eyeing up the ones hanging up in EDD - but I'll be damned if I'll pay more than a tenner for one. (They are currently being sold for in excess of twenty notes). Since so many people on da forum seem to be detoxing (ghastly word, that), surely demand is at an all time low?? Come on, retailers....slash those prices!

As a Panettone fan I can guarantee you won't be disappointed by those at Lidl. I tried one to see whether at ?2.99 they could be any good and they are! Just without any expensive crunchy sugar or fancy toppings on the outside.


I think I'll pop down there this week and get another...

Italian bakers produce some 117 million panettone and pandoro cakes every Christmas -- worth 579 million euros (416 million pounds). By law they must be made according to strict rules, including using only butter and beer yeast.


But those rules do not apply abroad, meaning exported Italian cakes may not be up to scratch, and foreign-made versions may only bear a vague resemblance to the tall, puffy, golden desserts prized by Italians.


"We can't let all these imitators use a name, a brand that gives them a link to territory that isn't theirs -- in a way they are mocking consumers,"

Allfornun, the LIDL ones are actually made in Italy, but I take your point. So is plenty of crappy pasta and I can't bear non-bronze die product.


I find it hard to imagine that a twelve quid panettone could be four times better, but I am now tempted to buy a more expensive one from somewwhere (on sale, of course). Perhaps you would consider trying the LIDL one and letting us know your opinion.


Unless that's below you of course.....

There is nothing poncey about Pannettone, just because you ED foodies relate ponceyness to price then it is no wonder things just get marked up and up and up ! And personaly I think if you start to get too involved in someone's business, if it was me, you 'd be in the fryer with the coley. - And it's not the Rye it's Peckham Common actually !

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
