Bloody hell, are you some kind of masochist? Don't encourage her!

Egg Boss scotch eggs are definitely worth a try, if you're not already acquainted, - in particular the black pudding and the hot sauce varieties.


They cost ?6-?12 per egg (in real money that's ?2.50 per egg or 3 for ?6, I believe).

Someone has already recommended Tachbrook St in Pimlico but I'd second it.


As well as the "best-value-lunch-in-London-?3-falafel-wrap" there is also an excellent Turkish grill selling some fine kebabs.


The mahoosive mixed wrap (lamb and chicken, sauces and heaps of salad) costs ?6 or between ?6-?12 in Louisa money.

Is this seriously a thread about the beatification of traditonal WC food ?


Can I start a similar one about how great is was when WC lives were dominated by Scurvy/Rickets/Rackman landlordism/ being conspripted and killed in futile Colonial wars/ Asbestotis/ Industrial accidents at unregulated industrial plants/ press ganging / TB / London Smog/ Cholera / black death / Indentured domestic and agricultural slavery/ the highland clearences/ and all other other shit has has been heaped upon the proles for the past millenia?


Jellied eel is shit and only came about cos the rotten capitalist polluted rivers of the past were devoid of life and Eels were transportable and vagueley alive & fresh after a few days out of their muddy murk habitat in the provinces. Now that Eels are on their last legs, we all love them again. Except we dont, but the Third Reich Bellended Waffen gestapo crowd tell us we do.So I suppose its all right then. or maybe not. I dunno.


nazi grocers and brownshirt butchers have alot to answer for

Right I can't take this anymore. I've tried, god knows I've tried, but how much for a pizza? Please tell me it's not a fiver a slice 'bout now? What toppings?


Woodrot - eels don't have to just be jellied, they can be pan fried with some fancy sauce if needed.


I'm actually in shock right now, that cheese and marmite sarny just flew out the window.

I think you may have missed the boat on the Egg Boss - I think he's only making scotch eggs now on special occasions.

His latest venture is paleo food - various recipes that cater for those on the paleo diet.

in 25 years time, will we all be trooping along to Frankins to gorge ourselves on Domino style pizzas with a ghastly cock shaped suasage in the ring? whilst chewing down 3ltr zeppelins of white lightning and having a ?20 bag of hydroponic Viet cultivated Skunk as a desset ?


pah

titch I'm trying to be more diplomatic. And yes it's human nature to be inquisitive, trying new things etc but at what point does that cross the line into pretentious? I ate a crocodile steak at a gastropub in Putney, I didn't enjoy the experience. Does that make me pretentious?


El Pibe - jellied eels with spiced vinegar and salt are the key ingredients to make it taste differently. The eel is a very versatile dish, and the solidified jelly is no different to eating the fat surrounding a rasher of bacon.

El Pib's


I'm issuing a 'Pie Fatwa' lest we get into a Pie house/ Pie shop war of words.


In future they can be referred to as a "consumable lidded pastry holding vessels" for the purpose of this thread.

Oooo yes I know...Eels Eels Eels



The Eel


Acting on the advice of an anonymous note, Takuro Yamashita (Kōji Yakusho) returns home early one night to find his wife in bed with another man. He kills her and then turns himself in to the police. After being released from prison, he opens a barber shop. He helps save Keiko Hattori (Misa Shimizu) from a suicide attempt, after which she works at his shop. It becomes clear that Keiko has romantic affections for Takuro, but his reciprocation is directed towards his pet eel.

    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
