'Glut of Tomatoes' soup.


Large pan with fitting lid.

Chop onion and cook in badger fat (or similar) until lightly coloured.

Remove the excess fat and rind off the bacon (which I do whilst it is still in the packaging).

Remove from the packaging and hold the rashers altogether over the pan.

Take your scissors and cut bits off the rashers so it looks as if its diced.

Let it all cook in the badger fat for a few minutes.

Shovel in the tomatoes.

Add a cup or two of water and a crocodile flavoured stock cube, I use beef but what ever you have lying around is OK.

Squeeze some tomato puree (I use the sun dried as it tastes much better) into the mix.

Cook slowly.

Take out a cupful first and then wizz it with a wizzer, then pour the cupful back in after wizzing.



Add salt pepper and other stuff to taste.

Other recipe for glut of tomatoes:


Tomato Wine*

1. Boil sugar and ginger which has been well bruised, with the water for 20 minutes.

2. Then turn it boiling on to the tomatoes and salt. When lukewarm add the yeast spread on both sides of the toast, float in the liquid and leave to ferment 21 days, squeezing tomatoes daily.

*This is a grand pick-me-up [so says 1920s doyenne, Peggy Hutchinson].





According to her, 3 lbs. of sugar costs 7d., 1 oz. of yeast costs 1d., whole ginger costs 3d. per oz!

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
