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.

    • I was talking to my brother in the law last weekend who works for a different water company. He said he and his colleagues watch TW’s woes with a mixed of horror, disbelief and then relief that they work for a different water company. Worth a watch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00284vt
    • But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.
    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
