What is your website??

[cactus]

Google boulangerie jade, and there it is, but for now only the Blackheath shop.

Looks great! When will you open, Christophe?

[boulangerie jade]

We should be ready to open on the 1st of november

[elloriac]

The range of breads looks amazing - are any of them suitable for vegans?

Thanks!

[balanceforlife]

Will you be supplying gluten free products?

[boulangerie jade]

All our bread is vegan free because there isn't any fat in French bread

But we don't do gluten free only rye only.

We are looking to do gluten free soon.

I always thought that a shop that sold bread was called a bakers. You learn something new every day in East Dulwich or should I say North Calais?

Hey Grandad, have you tried buying a cup of coffee anywhere in the UK this century? Requires an Italian language lesson followed by a brief on Australian/American slang.

And we started calling greasy spoons "cafes" in the 1950s.

"Bakery" is OK in my book. The dictionary definition is a place where break/cakes are made/sold.

Describing a shop as a "butchery" though... that really does annoy me. It's like a painters and decorators business calling themselves "the decorating".

Hello Christophe

I just wondered if you will be selling your patisserie as well as breads? I am on the hunt for a really good mille feuille...

Thanks

[Monkey]

Fantastic news. We live within walking distance and really look forward to visiting your shop!

[maxxi]

the breads do look good - is there a price list on the website anywhere?

[boulangerie jade]

Hi everyone

We will sale patisserie included Mille feuille.

Sorry no prices on the website

Call shop to ask for it.

baffling... or perhaps not.

I believe baguettes in France are price controlled at about a 1 euro and the average price is still just 89cents.

Will your French bread goods match this in price?

[mrure26]

All bread in boulangeries in France are inexpensive considering the quality. They sell more than just baguettes and if any UK bakery is as good as the French ones they will do well.

Oooh let's take a guess!

The French are crazy about their bread though, aren't they? Queues out of the door in any decent neighbourhood bakery on a daily basis...

"I believe baguettes in France are price controlled"

Not since 1978.

I stand corrected. Bizarre how that's before I was born yet something I've always thought was true.

Still, online searching shows the baguette voted best in Paris still on costs 1.2 euros or about ?1.

Why can't that be done here by good bakers? Overheads can't be that different can they?

[red devil]

Sod the baguettes, it's the fresh, buttery croissants I'm drooling in anticipation for...

Quantity made/sold, maybe?

In colloquial Egyptian Arabic the word for bread and the word for life are the same - aish.

Here in post-Thatcher Britain, of course, bread means money.

This is the sort of faux profundity that sounds best delivered over a glass of coffee and a pair of worn corduroys, so I am just the tw*t to make it.

[DaveR]

I always thought 'bread' was from 'bread and honey' = money, old skool Cockney rhyming slang

Not sure whether that makes the comparison any more or less profound (or faux, for that matter)
