Duck egg

[Greengod]

Great brunch at duck egg northX road today. Cooked just as I asked

[minder]

How much did you pay for it?

[Greengod]

?5.95

[maxxi]

nice attention paid to overooking the egg and burning the toast just right...

[red devil]

Ahhh, the old let's fill up a small plate trick...

[Sue]

Seems to be mainly baked beans??

[Bellenden Belle]

That's an extraordinarily uninspiring plate of food.

[KidKruger]

Well Greengod liked it enough to post about it and recommend it to everyone, he/she can't be 'wrong' because its down to personal taste. So say what YOU prefer, but don't phrase it like the OP is wrong.

I doubt the OP is now thinking "oh yeah, it was actually a rubbish breakfast - those clever EDFers just made me realise...doh !!".

[maxxi]

That's exactly the point KK - they may just feel - "actually, now I come to think about it/look at it again... phew... thanks clever/smug/nitpicky EDFers"

Post a photo of your dinner/lunch/breakfast here folks and let us deconstruct it.

You will also be aware of the British sea-front cafe technique.

Always sit in the window seat. You will get a larger diameter plate and a bigger portion.

It looks a bit uninspiring to me. I don't know if ED needs another cafe. As with every venture I hope it does well.. But I'll stick with Home Made for my 'treat' breakfast.

[Jeremy]

Where I can get an inspiring fry-up, then?

What's with the random chives?

Not as bad as putting pesto on a breakfast tomato, but an oddity nonetheless.

I haven't been to the ED branch but had lunch in the Brixton one on Saturday. I thought ?4.50 was a little steep for a chicken and avocado sandwich which turned out to be just cooked chicken breast, slices of rather hard avocado between two slices of processed seeded bread that seemed suspiciously like Saisburys seeded bread that i buy for toast. No salad, no garnsih not nothing. Whilst not a bad sandwich, i would have been happy with it from a trad old style greasy spoon cafe for ?2.50, i expected a lot more for ?4.50

[Sue]

Haven't been in yet but looked at their menu in the window on Saturday and thought the prices were definitely at the top end for an ED breakfast.

The picture posted above hasn't encouraged me to venture in, I must say.

Greengod, when you say your brunch was "cooked just as I asked", what did you ask for?

[Chillaxed]

Parsley methinks.

We went there on Saturday for breakfast and thought it was good food and value for money. So there - viva Duck Egg!

[standswithfist]

What did you have, and how much was it?

[DulwichFox]

Having checked out the inflated prices and having seen the photo from OP.

It will do well...

In ED that is...

Fox.

[RosieH]

I've heard nothing but good things about the Brixton branch, so looking forward to checking it out. Minus herbage (and Chillaxed, yes, I think you're right).

[edcam]

That's about the most unappetising looking fried egg I've ever seen.

Had Eggs Benedict, OJ, coffee....no idea how much it was

Please don't think I'm being "funny", and fair enough that you thought it was good food, but how can you post that it was "value for money" if you don't know how much it was?

Sorry, I know that sounds rude but I can't find a more tactful way of putting it :(

[standswithfist]

OMG seriously what is wrong with some people on this forum!
