Exactly this. To the letter.

Ah yes, hatred would be 'irrational' if I had said I hated it - but this is about things one "doesn't get" - thas all.


I don't get it like I don't get the whole superfoods argument (aren't we all still supposed to be eating some Gigi berry or other or drinking liquidised grass?) only got irritated when I first saw it written and got smug-smile-corrected in its pronunciation after asking in Peckham's H&B what kwinohwer was.


Rice I get.


Wheat I get (even when it's cracked).


Oats ditto and Barley and I have a long standing understanding.


But I think Quinoa can fuck off.

:D fair enough.

It was just something i'd never heard of in the lunches I got at work from the supermarket downstairs.

It tasted nice with lots of tabasco.


Turned out I'd be mispronouncing it for months in my head.


yeah, superfoods i don't get. It's not going to counteract the harm from crying into your pinot grigio every night!!

Strafer, you've lost me, what on earth are you on about?

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
