Don't forget (pretty decent) pizzas at the Actress too.


Of all the things we need more of, pizza is almost bottom of the list. A halfway decent Vietnamese place would do a roaring trade, ditto Japanese, Spanish, Mexican. A good Chinese/dim sum place would probably do well.


Also continually amazed that none of the curry house owners have the initiative to reinvent themselves with regional/"home cooking" type food, ditch the tikka massala and double the profits. There must be a practically endless supply of Indian people in London who know how to cook amazing food.

Pizzas should not be made of sourdough either in my opinion, but then I prefer the thin crust Italian wood-fired classics rather than the American versions that dominate here.

And charge a bit more for them.

Are you sure about that? I thought that sourdough was the traditional Naples style.

Neopolitan pizzas are protected under EU rules similar to french cheeses/wines as to ingredients and process. They do use a particular yeast but I've never seen them referred to as sourdough (a later American term?) and fermentation of the yeast bacteria (the main distinction with sourdough) does not appear to be particularly relevant to the process.


I could be wrong though and due to the taste imparted by the yeast it could fall under a loose description of sourdough

DC is spot on here IMO. I'm not someone that enjoys eating out in restraunts or pubs, I'm just not very foody, but sometimes you need something to keep the engine running (and soak up the booze), and pizza is ideal in those circumstances, for all the reasons DC gives, and the additional bonus that you can share one with a mate and split the cost.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
