Given that B&J is available everywhere what the chocolate fudge would they open a shop for? To sell t-shirts and mugs? What next, a Cadbury shop?


Besides which they probably hadn't counted on the - ahem - independent business above Threshers closing down and wiping out their late night customer base.


All hokum imo.

Wouldn't have much of a shelf life though.


Don't get me wrong, my wife makes fresh ice cream, and it's awesome, but if I'm buying some from a shop, Cookie Dough is a favourite. There is room in my life for both, and I won't turn my nose up at one because it isn't the other.


I love lamb, and you can't beat a home cooked lamb steak. Occasionally though I enjoy a doner kebab.

Food wise, CP is ahead of ED in lots of ways to be honest.

So this a food snob who doesn't understand E numbers, right? I've met them, but I don't think I am one.


If you want shelf life, then go ahead and add emulsifiers. I'd simply try to choose an alternative that was fresh. Needn't be expensive, needn't be snobby.

Why anyone would open an ice cream shop going into winter in an already cold and wet country is hard for me to understand. Add East Dulwich's sub prime location (retail wise) to that mix and it's even harder.


B&J have a ton of shops in SE England...but Cutty Sark and Tower of London aside, 95% of them are in Odeon cinemas.


No chance.

I'd only compliment you on your creative flair in adding paprika, sorry I mean E160c, to my egg sandwich if it was Hungarian (specifically from the Szeged region) and of the feledes variety.


PS (apparently ice-cream sells well in cold climates/Winter...cannot remember where I read that tho).

What a useful thread. So far I've learned that:


B&J ice cream is muck because it contains stabilisers and emulsifiers. Italian Gelato is much better, even though it usually also contains these ingredients.


Crystal Palace is ahead of East Dulwich because they've had an ice cream shop open in the last few weeks, even though ED has had an ice cream shop (Scooped) for a couple of years.

      Recommendation needed for Orthodontist (For Child's treatment)

      By stuartspalding · Posted

      Hi, I'm looking to find a recommendation for a good orthodontist who works with children. We live in East Dulwich, so someone local would be good. But also prepared to travel further afield or into the city if needs be. Stu

      Big Garden Birdwatch

      By malumbu · Posted

      Actually far better than I anticipated.  My usual viewings from the kitchen are of the feeders that for whatever reason appear less visited.  But upstairs, and doing it for the whole hour we spotted many more species, and with the help of the bird song app saw wrens, and probably a black cap.  We caught a brief view of a small flock of long tailed tits, and were pleased to see far more gold finches than we expected, so numbers not as decimated, following sub freezing nights a few weeks ago, as thought. No sparrow hawks, probably only see one a decade, and expect that they are more interested in wood pigeons than sparrars.

      Problematic preachers Bellenden Rd

      By malumbu · Posted

      So we have been through millions of years of evolution just to be abusive to people?  Irrespective of your beliefs, and I am certainly a non-believer, I wouldn't be abusive.  Just ignore or if you are that bothered argue back. I pass preachers all the time ranting in Peckham.  I generally chuckle to myself but in the past have been happy to debate with JWs when they call, although they usually leave fairly quickly as they don't agree with my views, including bullying me as nine year old with tales of the end of the world. Sadly Christian fundamentalism from the times of the crusades, conquistadors and now Trump's America has so much to answer for.
