Try roast chicken marinated in peanut butter and Coca-Cola.


My favourite sandwich combination is:


Two slices of fresh crusty white bread thickly buttered

Peanut butter on one

Strawberry jam on the other

Layer of mature cheddar cheese

Layer of salt and vinegar crisps

Layer of crispy bacon still warm


I can see the pearly gates . . .

I agree and sometimes things that you think would never work actually do.


That aside, there are certain delicacies that shouldn't be spoiled. For example, why would you take a freshly caught and cooked lobster and turn it in to Thermidor? All it needs is fresh bread and butter and mayo.

Heaven

Peppered rare fillet steak with jacket potato and oozles of butter

chestnuts and sprouts with bacon bits at christmas

warm flapjack still goey in the middle

smoked salmon

pizza pie


Hell

caviar

fois gras

avacado

banana

celery (devil's food)


dribbling on keyboard, sparks flying, need flapjack....

heaven is homemade

soups

bread

quiche

Apple or any Berry pie




Hell is stuff dished up in front of you, around a table full of people talking loudly, who know each other but not you, and the food is over salted, greasy and cold, which includes turkey twizzlers, badly cooked offal and tapioca pudding.

How did I forget to include Sprouts to my heaven list, though they're probably in most peoples Marmite category.


Sprouts al dente with good olive oil, some roughly chopped parsley and freshly grated Parmeggiano.

Sprouts are so versatile.

Great cold in a sandwich or try a Sprout and Ricotta pasta with a few flecks of chilli.


Annasfield, I wont go into the ethical debate re greenhouse gases ;-) but you are so right about the Lobster. Reminds me too of that great fish restaurant in Kennington, the Lobster Pot

That one is def the most bizarre mix I have heard of, sprout sandwich, and I love sprouts, you sure you are not expecting the pitter patter of tiny feet. Although having said that I liked sucking chalk pieces when I was preg the 2nd time! lol!

    • 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
