They're probably caf?s rather than cafes.

> Anyway, cafes who put a blob of basil pesto on tomatoes in a side salad


Just wanted jump on this and say: cafes and retailers that think salad is just scattered veg and loose leafs with a bit of garlic sauce.


NO! You're meant to *slice* the veg - you lazy cunts - into small pieces and there should be bits of cucumber, cabbage, tomatoes, rocket, and celery in it. Jumble it up and add a bit of lemon juice and/or olive oil -- that's a bloody salad.


Add sweetcorn or feta or whatever the hell you want to it after that, just at least do me the courtesy of the first part.

Whilst we're on the subject of cafes, we stayed at my mum's last night and went for a fry this morning.


First port of call was the place by the Clarke's shoe shop, but it was rammed. So ended up in the Dulwich Cafe by the Palmerston.


Was never a fan of the place 10 years ago, and it hasn't improved. Proper shit cafe.


And the wife said she had easily the worst bubble she'd ever eaten.

if it's an old school caf? you're looking for Otta, you can't beat the Uplands caf? (formerly the Ideal Caf?) locally.


Anyway, back on subject - what gets my goat is people changing their forum names and then trying to work out who they were in a former guise.

Don't the people changing their names remember who they were before, then?


Sorry :))

"I was a huge fan when it was Ideal, but last time I went there it was crap. But maybe just a bad day.

To be honest I am very very rarely in Dulwich at the sort of time I'd need a cafe, so not a big deal, but was disappointed this morning."


I think it may have been a bad day Otta. It's OK in there, he just wants to keep it a cor-blimey greasy.

Maybe give it another go..

Otta can I put my tuppence worth in and recommend a cafe miles away not many people will have heard of or visited in Dulwich but it comes highly bloody recommended. Mus's Cafe at Brockley Cross it's a classic old school caf. The bubble is amazing, the staff are friendly and the food is always freshly cooked and to a good standard. They sometimes offer free refills I've noticed too.

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
