I'm on a planet where I eat non-pretentious food bought from Iceland OKR and Lidl Penge. That ok Seabag? And *Bob* stop whinging just because I exposed your lack of understanding about French and UK owned company names and their Anglo-Franco origins. I despair at this forum sometimes I really do. Where else can you start an irrational rage response about croissants and end up talking about stinging nettles?

"'m on a planet where I eat non-pretentious food bought from Iceland OKR and Lidl Penge."


but what if you eat croissants* (and brioche, pain au chocolat) from Iceland?

*Made in France no less. Pretentious or what!!!

Well as I said before numbers, I wouldn't mind taking a guess that those croissants sold in that particular freezer which I, and probably most other Iceland OKR shoppers walk past as they enter the store, is the most under used cabinet in the entire store judging by the amount of stock in it. Having said that, it's still less patronising than anything sold at local boulangeries aimed at winding people like myself up for no reason other than entertainment purposes.

Mmmm...a plain croissant is made of butter, flour, yeast and salt. You can make it with 100% English ingredients.


Your beloved Hovis?


Wholemeal Flour (Wheat), Water, Yeast, Wheat Protein, Salt, Vinegar, Malted Wheat, Toasted Wheat, Emulsifier: E472e, Malted Barley Flour, Caramelised Sugar, Soya Flour, Vegetable Fat (Rapeseed, Palm), Flour Treatment Agent: Ascorbic Acid. This product contains 62% wholegrains from Wholemeal Flour.


Do tell me where you can grown Soy and Palm oil in the UK? Or event the EU??


Looks like it's you who's being patronised :-)


(PS it was the Egyptians who discovered bread..probably..along with beer..do you walk like one too?)

Lowlander you seem to be comparing a homemade croissant where the cook has speicifically sourced English ingredients to make said article, with a branded bread which is no longer an English/British owned company having been swallowed up by a multinational many moons ago. You don't know what goes into a croissant from a supermarket and where the ingredients are sourced do you? So it kind of defeats that point. I could easily make a loaf of bread or croissant at home with UK grown ingredients. I just don't like croissants, so won't be doing it. I wonder how many people make their own croissants? Actually, forget I asked that. This is the EDF, there's bound to be a couple.

Is there such a place as "Louisa and Foxy Land"


Was there ever such a place


Dried eggs and eels, sh!t bread and ale


A place where you'd get punched in the face for laughs


The Iceland estate maybe, or Woolworth's on a Saturday land


Jurassic Park or Lake Merlot even


Who knows, who cares ?

The point of this "patronising French breakfast snack", which was invented by Austrians, has always been to tempt hungry punters with something richer than plain old bread, but more everyday than your fancy pastries. Hardly healthy, but better for you than a bacon butty, and less offensive in the office too. (Unless you consider biting into a crescent-shaped pastry to be Islamophobic, which was sort of the original idea back in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.)


If you want to be properly patronised by p?tisserie, you'll be wanting a macaron. A confection that practically sneers at you for not knowing what flavour it is before you bite into it, and whose ghost defies you to even glance at a jammy dodger ever again. Each one a tiny, pricey bite of delicious Gallic derision.

Never eaten an eel in my life Seabag, also foxy and I eat different bread (this has been discussed at length before). Can't include Iceland as they no longer occupy a space in our ED popular culture (officially consigned to the annuals of ED retail history) and Woolies has been defunct for even longer. No, I think you'll struggle to find our land. The closest you'll get for me is a combo between Dulwich Village on a Sunday evening and Bromley town centre on a Saturday afternoon.

I like a croissant now and again,I think they make a nice change from toast or cereal. All you croissant haters can jog on

Err, I wouldn't buy croissants from a supermarket...pitiful things.


If you can easily make them then you should set up business in ED - big market for you!

Wood-Fired-Croissant-Pizza-Pop-Up


In New-Peckham, with D-FXY (his new 'urb tag' btw lol) and LOLouisa


The 'team' have created a craft ale 'It ain't like th'ol'daze' in honour of the pointlessness of the non-event


There will be pretentious actors with 'French accents' accenting the lack of 'Merlotnes'



The nite will end with a GIANT KEBAB on a trampoline performing 'cul-de-sacs' over Diptique candles

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
