Thanks guys - great to have a discussion on this topic. East Dulwich Tavern, Beauberry House and Franklins have stopped serving foie gras - yes because we asked them to. The reasoning behind mentioning Le Chardon is that it is (I believe - please correct if wrong) the last place in Dulwich to serve Foie Gras. I chose Foie Gras as it is a horrible product, and many people have stood against it - including Prince Charles. I would love to see a Foie Gras Free Dulwich. I dont think my choice is overly selective, I had to start somewhere, and I chose Foie Gras. I also campaign against factory farming. I dont think a boycott is too extreme either, it is a great way to show a company how consumers feel, and a lever to improve rights - whether they be human or animal. Is there anywhere else in Dulwich serving Foie Gras? Thanks, Thomas.

Thanks for all the replies. Interesting to see the mixture of replies. Sorry to see people making jokes of animal abuse. Thought people may be a little bit mature although I suppose it is the 'internet effect'. Would anyone here boycott a restaurant due to their choice of animals / animal farming? Thanks Thomas

Hey Guys. Im very interesting in your views on Foie Gras (fatty liver) - follow link if you dont know about this controversial dish (The duck is force fed until its liver swells massively with fatty tissue). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras_controversy Le Chardon is still serving this horrible dish, and it would be wonderful if we could encourgae them to remove it from the menu. Franklins, EDT and Beauberry House have all agreed to stop serving Foie Gras. What do people think about this? Thanks Thomas

Hey James Please can you support Dulwich Meat Free Days? Just pick your day and make it meat free - try out SMBS on lordship lane for some great veggie food! Thanks Thomas Micklewright Dulwich Veggie Society

You could mention it to the local police team, it seems rather strange behaviour, in future just make sure you ask for ID before you let anyone into your home!

Didn't you get an invite?

Dulwich (FYI on the 15th may and yes the dulwich vegan and vegi society will be there!)

I always email the contact on the add asking if they would like to take part in a meat free day for the dulwich vegan society, maybe try that? He he

Ive noticed a lot recently, in fact a visiting friend said 'People here dont clean up after their dogs do they?' and to punctuate that statement when we returned there was a little present on the path to my house. Thanks for the thread! Tom

Ow that reminds me I also caught a child that escaped form his parents clutches outside the Pavillion in Dulwich Park! Tom

Glad to hear they will be collected with the next garden collections! Thanks James Thomas

great idea mate! I really enjoyed this thread! Only ones i have to add are the usual finding peoples mobiles and then returning them (after some detective work!) and the same with wallets and a passport! Tom
