Brie. Brie? BRIE? Brie as in fancy, faffy, condescending, patronising FRENCH cheese?

What you want is a big chunky slice of proper Chedder in yer buns. What are you, a hipster or something?

I wouldn't eat the French muck out of principle. Somerset Brie is perfect, better than anything the French could make. Same goes for cheddar, has to be from Somerset with the "West Country farmhouse" label.

?1.50 for a hot cross bun that size I don't mind! (See picture)

And let's assume Brick House pays the bakers the London living wage which I believe is ?9.40. I think pricing it at ?1.50 is a bargain!


Let's break it down, shall we?


According to this recipe http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/hotcrossbuns_397

it takes 2 hours to make 12 hot cross buns


2 x ?9.40 = ?18.80

Divided by 12 = ?1.566666666666667

And that's just labour. Rent, electricity and ingredients are missing!

I don't know if they do make their own Buns.. They might buy in... From where ever..


.. But like I said..(somewhere) I don't think ?1.50 is that expensive for a sit in..

If you go to the Cheese Block the French brie is amazing. Rubbery it certainly isnt.

Indeed - the Brie de Meaux that sits on that back shelf threatening to ooze over the edge is a spreadable delight and truly one of life's joys.

    • In a veggie and went a few weeks ago and there was a lot to offer and super tasty - enjoy 🙂
    • You may have more success posting on ED facebook….personally, not a fan  of social media but where I have moved to in the country, this seems to be the main way  of communication. A suggestion for you - well a couple actually - there is a cafe at the edge if Telegraph Hill which might be worth a shot with a pizza stand attached - from memory think it is called White Rabbit or something like that. Cafe has odd evenings when they have music  as well. Not sure if you are to young but give them a go. Get some leaflets/cards done and pop through letterbox or on car windscreen in local area offering your services to clean cars… sure you have done this already. Wish you all the best.    
    • Thank you so much for this - really appreciate it.
