Bring back Kennedys.> > Louisa.???? didn't say it was overpriced but that it was expensive - different implications.I stand by my statement re sausage rolls (eating one at present) and the ham. All deli's tend to be at the higher end of the price range and I don't find EDD off the scale for the quality they provide.

SteveT Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 EDD have a delicious date and walnut loaf which is soooo dangerous, because you don't stop eating until it is finished.It is small and costs around ?3.50 and you can eat it all by yourself.yum yum.

snorky Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Proles eat hi fat lo priced locally produced shite from shops with "pound" or "cutter" in name = should be bannedMiddle classes eat hi fat high priced imported shite from shops with a mission statement = nominated for awardsHow does that sit oh Guardian readers ?

SeanMacGabhann Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 How does it sit? Not very coherently snorky. Who is talking about banning anything? And concentrating on fat content alone isn't especially useful either Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5649-east-dulwich-included-in-smooth-radio-love-london-awards-09/#findComment-181588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I don't understand the problem - they sell food which tastes nice. Yes it's quite expensive, but if you don't like it don't shop there, there are plenty of other options around locally.Snorky - come on, not the middle/working class clich?s again... next thing you know, someone is going to be berating it for being "white".

Jeremy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I will readily admit that when I was a student, Gregg's range of warm stodge was a convenient and cheap staple... but it doesn't exactly taste good, does it?There's nothing wrong with spending your money on nice food, if that's what floats your boat. Snorky, you've admitted before to buying stuff which I would consider a complete waste of money. So each to their own.

Louisa Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 It isnt about buying good or bad food, it is about buying something because you genuinely are misguided in believing it is better than what is sold in one of the chain bakers like Greggs. Some people are just snobs, they do it because they can, they dont mind wasting money, it makes them feel good. Why not just own up and admit it ED'ers!Louisa.

SeanMacGabhann Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 WTF is going on here? Are people GENUINELY saying that the salt/water/fat products of Greggs are genuinely tasty and no worse for you than some well made bread, olive oil and salad? Can you not - with no guidance from anything but your tastebuds - tell the difference between a sausage roll from EDD and one from GreggsIf you genuinely think there is no difference or Greggs is better, it is not snobbish at all to suggest you are deluded. A suasage roll from Greggs is a thing made from balance sheets, of hate for it's customer, from the bowels of hell. Cut one open. Look for the suasage meat. If you find some... LOOK AT IT! What the hell do you think that stuff is???????now, shite can hit the spot. By all means say it's your favourite thing. That's not an issue. But don't say it's no worse than a well made sausage roll. Because it emphatically isStop hiding behind puerile insults at sandal-wearing Guardian readers, get over the chip on your shoulder and use your senses for the love of god Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5649-east-dulwich-included-in-smooth-radio-love-london-awards-09/#findComment-181611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmora Man Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 It isnt about buying good or bad food, it is about buying something because you genuinely are misguided in believing it is better than what is sold in one of the chain bakers like Greggs.Come on - I've been eating and enjoying good food for over 50 years. I'm price conscious and quality conscious but not misguided unless my taste buds are totally shot. I am prepared to bet that an objective blind tasting of almost all (I'd probably say all - but leave an opening for others to disagree) EDD produce - sausage rolls, chocolate brownies, sponge cakes, walnut loaves and their ham against Greggs produce would give EDD a win every time.I wouldn't assert that there's a straight linear relationship between the quality and price at each establishment but ?1.75 for a meaty, herby flaky pastry wrapped sausage roll - that weighs I'd estimate a good 6 ozs and is made on the premises at EDD is good value. ?1.00 for a industrially produced flaccid, pink and flavourless sausage roll with stodgy pastry and warmed over in the microwave at Greggs is only VFM if you're:a. Stoney broke and unable to spend an extra 50p or sob. In dire need of something to ease the pangs of hunger.c. There's no alternative supply of edible food.I have eaten Greggs SRs - in Brum when conditions b. & c. applied - but not on LL with EDD 50 yards away.
