"The Larder"



...is where the quality produce is kept, the quality condiments ect...


It's the essence of life really & if you are lucy enough to have one, it is a thing of great joy.

I often open mine, step inside & just to look, smell & imbibe.


I'd also go as far to say it's also an emotional parachute as well, should the world outside grind to a halt, then all is well with the hoard you have aquired. "Survive & thrive" in some style for sure.


There are always the "essentials" that are the resident vanguards.


Olive oil, Maldon sea salt, Cider vinegar, Malle mustard, Black & Bristol blend peppercorns ( keep up there ...) Worcestershire sauce, Anchovies & good ketchup, a good tinned tomato. The list goes on & you know what's needed in your sleep


Though however, there are new guest items that catch my eye as I'm out & about in the nicer shops, on my round as it were


Recent discoveries....



1. EMPIRE MADE. Spicey original blend "Peanut Butter". Forget the stuff of "nanny knows best" This is a grown up blend, with chillies & shrimp paste . Very nice "Kick" Indeed & available at Franklins farm shop


2.The above sits well on a slice of brown sourdough bread, (I am however dreaming this with a slice of rare cut lamb from Mondays cold cuts, you know a kind of Satay vibe..).

I used to buy bread from the East Dulwich Deli however, the lot who run it are so ill mannered & noxious that I found their "bread Karma" misbehaving & taking on a nasty note.

I now buy the one from LUCA bakery ( though they have a weirdness all of their own ) It has a good texture, a nice crumb & keeps well. Other than the Bread from "St John"s" this is now my choice item


3. Fresh "chirizo" sausage from W.ROSE, add this sliced thin to pasta sauces, soups & stews.I now use it instead of pancetta.

It's a great little item that keeps on giving, all smokey paprika & smooth rendered fat



There are many more "discoveries" to be made I know, so any "credible" additions would be welcome ( after the usual stringent testing ) of course



I am also loving my new "slow cooker" ?15 from Sainsbury's ( why I have not discovered this joy before is beyond me )



For now though , good eating.

Whilst I agree about the surlyness of the EDD staff they have a couple of to-die-for items - notably their scotch eggs.


I'm intrigued you think Luca's bread is as good though. I shall give them a try at the weekend.


Edit: Ooh - one more thing. Smoked chipotle chillis. Fandabbydoozy.

The larders of East Dulwich


The murky brine in an opened jar of capers. The earthernware mustard pot, with its soiled ribbon and spent spew of red wax. The meat hooks that never were annointed with whole hams. Packets of yeast that will leaven no dough. The unopened jars of home-made chutney that neither of you liked, despite you following the recipe exactly.


The note pinned to the larder door.


"You have broken my heart."

Woof, just admit that your cupboard is full of baked beans, "Mr Kipling" cakes, and festering leftover curry.


All this talk of "Black & Bristol" peppercorns, and "good" ketchup... what a load of rot. You should be on Come Dine With Me - you'd be the person who drives everyone mad and comes last.

      4+ Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
