I know, it's insightful indeed


If I told you I was a quinoa eating veggie, how would that sit with your view right now?

More patronising terms. 'Quiorna' vegetable milk. Get into the real world where the rest of us eat normal food, for the sake of sanity and common sense, please? I'm guessing you can only buy it in small hippy Indy establishments where posh people with beards charge a fortune and possibly even milk the plant in front of you so you can be sure it's 'fresh'.


Louisa.

Highland spring mineral water in your kettle is sheer joy. Even better though is Harrogate (in the glass bottle) as it's got that 'drier' mineral note.


That used with a silver tip infusion is pretty perfect. But it also makes a good 'builders' (Clippers) if you're slumming it


Oh and semi skimmed goats milk (Delamere is my favourite), or if i'm down in Mersham I can buy it fresh

I like the range of Tiger Spring Teas from the guy on North Cross.


English Breakfast, Ceylon Orange Pekoe, Gunpowder (Green Tea) no name just a few..


All loose leaf teas..


He's not there very often.. A very pleasant fellow..


Would recommend you try when he's there..

Train to Scotland if I'm having tea. The water in the West Coast Highlands makes for the best cup.


Partial to a cup of Assam, has to be strong, no sugar and dash of milk. If down south, Yorkshire Gold is good, Yorkshire Red however is way too sweet.


Mornings - I prefer coffee. In fact, lately I have been drinking coffee during the day too, never in the evening unless I am out out.

Coffee, black at home from my Nespresso machine. I know it's not really what true coffee lovers would have, but I am too lazy to clean a cafetiere every day so before I got the machine I mainly drank instant.


I have the occasional soya cappuccinos in cafes - soya is not because I am a Guardianista, but because I am lactose intolerant.


I like most herbal and fruit teas, the tiger spring Moroccan Mint is particularly lovely.


Never got the taste for proper tea, don't like the smell either.

    • 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.
