Really...


They come all the way to London, one of the great food capitals and you want to serve them "Russian Food"


You're a weirdo ( my kinda weirdo ) no ? Take them to Won Kei, that'll do their heads in


But on a serious note, there's shed loads of very good food here


Or try Lidl


Pfffft....

no Annette- they have been in the uk for a month eating "our" food- I just thought I would make a little effort to buy/ make a few things - but trying to avoid a jar of caviar......

Lidl might be the answer-last time I was there i loaded up on croque monsiuers(?) and lasagna-

There's a Polish place in Camberwell on Church Street with things like pierogis - also the Polish restaurant restaurant at Elephant and Castle called Mamuska, which might hit the spot. The Southbank Food fair every weekend - Friday, Sat. and Sunday nr. Waterloo Station also has a Polish place.

Why not get some ingredients tomorrow and make some homemade Perogies to go alongside some standard British fare? They're very traditional (Ukrainian but close) and great served with some pickle /sour cream alongside some decent salads and you can make your own fillings (cheese and onion etc).


They'll also appreciate that you made the effort yourself...don't worry about the dough being slightly stretchy - it's supposed to be.

There is, or certainly was, a tiny Russian food shop/deli on Cornwall Road, just off the Cut, in Waterloo that sells Russian meats and cheeses amongst other things. I'm not sure of the name as it was in Cyrillic, but if you google 'Russian Shop, Waterloo' it should come up.


Alternatively, for a taste of the 'old' Russia, get him to join the queue at Wm. Rose on a Saturday morning. When he gets to the front, tell him he's got the wrong voucher, the food is only for Politburo members and give him the steering rack for a 1978 Lada 1200 instead.

There is a shop near the LLane Sainsburys called, I think, East European foods, which sells quite a bit of Russian type food. Worth going to just to see the phalus shaped bottle of liquor on the shelf behind the counter. Ideal Christmas present for your jovial uncle.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
