Si mangia is a fab restaurant, we take our children there regularly for dinner, they are always well looked after, we order one bowl of pasta/ pizza for them and it is brought on two plates, they love the olives too. We always have a great meal and I would highly recommend it to anyone.


If you are against eating pizza then don't order it, there are plenty of other options available.

I do not get the fascination at all. If you want to eat it, fine be my guest, it's your money. But Seriously, do we have to have endless chat about how amazing this basic culinary delight is? We go from conversations about how some establishments make angelic pizza and how amazing the food is - it's so so basic, the average Italian person would literally be peeing themselves with laughter at some of this food snobbery. It's embarrassing to be honest. I love food with thought, a decent ravioli would be my idea of good Italian food with imagination, just as a great rogan josh made from fresh chillies and without the powder and E numbers would be. It's just awkward hearing people singing the praises of such a very very basic dish such as this, a young child can make one of these things and it will probably taste no different to one made by an adult there is ZERO skill involved in my opinion.


I'm sticking with cheese on toast. I'll even add a splash of concentrated tomato pur?e next time to prove just how it tastes no different!

Louisa you can't be serious! As others have wittily pointed out food isn't just about the ingredients used but how they are used. Food is about texture as well-think of the difference between an apple pie and an apple crumble-exactly the same ingredients but completely different experience.

A Rogan Josh should be made with dried chillies not fresh chillies, but this kind of food snobbery is embarrassing, so I'll leave it.

So that's basically some dough, with a bit of sauce in the middle.


Hold on, that's a bit like pizza, innit?




You couldn't make it up. (Only you do)

      Just found these matches!

      Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened.

      The Mansion Tax

      By James Barber · Posted

      Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Sue · Posted

      https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded!
