I was talking to Roz (owner of Review)and she said one of the reasons she organised it last year because there are so many foodie's in Bellenden and she thought it would be fun - and it was very popular!! So she said they decided to run it again this year - expanding out into horticultural products as well. I'm very much looking forward to going and checking out the cakes and produce - although my cake baking skills aren't good enough I think to enter the compeition (unless there is a catergory for most mishapen or sunken cake!)
Hi, I am one of the organisers of the Bun Fight and we're really excited about this year's two-day event. Although it is a local competition we will be delighted to take entrants for either day (growing, veg sculptures and the edible hat parade on Saturday, and cakes, biscuits, preserves etc on the Sunday) from anyone who's willing to give it a go, regardless of where they live. We are hoping to make some money this year to give to a local charity so we want as many entrants as we can get (?1 each) and we'll be selling off the cakes after the judging so even if you don't enter you can come along and buy some thing yummy. There's a prize for every winner plus a fabulous 'best in show' prize kindly donated by The East Dulwich Deli. call into the Review book shop on Bellenden Road and chat with Roz if you'd to like to know more.

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
    • I'm glad all this talk of cheese has enticed David Peckham back to the forum.
