Due to this topic being excessively long, a new 2024 "New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham" has been opened here. Please continue the discussion there.

Everything tastes 'a bit like' chicken apparently - I've heard that said of snake, some types of grub, etc. etc. That may just mean that much chicken is virtually tasteless - though that wouldn't be true of chicken eaten in the past, which was (unless you were very rich) mainly old layers now past it.
The flavour of meat known as Umami comes from the way it's cooked to achieve some colour which then in tern creates some magic called the Maillard reaction. This is what we generally think of as 'meatiness'. Even the best quality steak will have little flavour if not cooked correctly. Over wood or charcoal is a perfect way to achieve this flavour, oh and did I mention we sell wood and charcoal at our shop on Underhill Rd ;)

"Much needed" - I do hope there is a heavy sense of irony in this statement. If there's one thing we don't need more of locally, it's pizza places! Saturation point reached!

Chicken is only tasteless if it is cheap factory farmed rubbish.

More gently tongue in cheek tbh than heavy irony


I think the premises in question has been vacant and boarded up for quite a while, so would rather have a new pizzeria than that any day...

That's the old tile shop - better a pizza place than boarded up - although we do have a lot of pizza places.


There's still plans to built a block of flats behind the bus stop there too and the flats on the old car park on the corner is now built.

That's not actually true. Factory farmed chicken are fattened up and Fat is what gives all meat and poultry its flavour. Although the process can be cruel.


Corn fed chickens have no fat and taste of corn not chicken.


If it makes you happy to spend ?15-18 on a Label Anglais with enough meat for 2 then so be it.

Not everyone has the money to shop at William Rose or the time to travel up town to the Ginger Pig.

or H.R. Parsons and Sons Walthamstow


Foxy

Does anyone have any clue what Swaddesh and the old laundrette will be? I think the Irish shop premises will be used by the cinema as expansion space but no idea about the other two.


Also, a librarian at Grove Library said the development across the road that will include flats, a new library and a retail shop has leased the retail space to M&S. Anyone else hear this?

The former newsagent's opposite the KwikFit is to be a nail parlour, according to the person working there. He nodded to the other nail parlour a few doors down but I did not know whether he meant that one would be moving to the new premises or just that it was going to be a separate one.

Also, the new shop next to the Polish shop near to Sainsbury's is going to be what?

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
