Le Piaf in Dulwich Village

[TillieTrotter]

Word on the street says it's going to be part of an italian chain called "roc" or something!!

[Jah Lush]

Roc.....? *Scratches head*

[DJKillaQueen]

a pint of milk at exorbitant prices

Would that be milk paid for so that the producer actually makes a profit unlike the chain stores that don't pay even what it costs to produce and thus have forced many dairy farmers out of business in the UK?

Big Supermarkets in this country supply us with rubbish meat and rubbish fruit and vegetables with no flavour and we stupidly buy them.

Give me a French supermarket anytime.

[womanofdulwich]

I don't know but it is probably organic milk. Don't we all subsidise french agriculture by the EU and not our own dairy farmers?

I always buy british pork products though as we rear our pigs outdoors whereas other european countries do not- especially Denmark.

[DJKillaQueen]

The French did get farming subsidies but we get subsidies too and European development money and so. It's just the French place an importance on the quality of the food they produce whereas we don't.

The big supermarkets force farmers to grow hardy (but flavourless) varieties of crops - so they can be shipped around the world for packaging and then back to us. Strawberries are a very good example of that.

Chicken is also something that has been meesed up. We used to grow a breed that takes six months to grow. It actually had a different shape but the important thing is that it was higher in protein content than fat. Now we rear a breed that takes only 12 weeks and is more fat than protein, and then is further injected with water and colourant. It's cheaper to produce and thefore sell, but is poor quality and nutritionally not very good for you.

Supermarkets are an industry and everything about how they produce and sell food is industrial. They exist to dominate the market and make money, not to provide us with good nutrition and quality food (whilst bullying producers into non-profitability - as with milk). Bakeries, butchers, fishmongers, and markets have always been guaranteed ways of getting truly fresh food - but most have been forced out of business.

Though I think the "free porno" deal is now over

W**F

[DJKillaQueen]

I'm guessing the burgers are a sideline then? lol ...And I can only imagine what the ketchup is used for! Plenty of sausage looks to be on offer though.

Shep-turds i call it...

[handymaneast dulwich]

I'm just glad I can park outside my house now could never park with that place open!

[javed]

I know what is coming to this site - its brilliant

[handymaneast dulwich]

What's that?

[javed]

Somewhere you can get a great plate of food and not pay over the odds

[Jah Lush]

Well....? Don't keep us in suspenders. What's coming Javed?

[HonaloochieB]

It's going to be a Wimpy, I can feel it in me water.

[Jah Lush]

Joe's Cafe.

[giggirl]

Hoochie B - wash your mouth out with soap and water.

You can't put "Wimpy" and "Dulwich Village" in the same sentence. I think there's a new Wimpy opening in Sydders soon. Off with you to try your luck there.

[HonaloochieB]

Giggi you can if you prefix it with 'Le' as I've already suggested.

The locals'll be queuing up for chocolate bowlers, you wait and see.

I can feel it in me bones.

[Mick Mac]

The villagers are partial to the likes of bella pasta and pizza express so another fast food chain is not out of the question.

[handymaneast dulwich]

i have lived in Dulwich Village for 28 years and i have only been to pizza express once and over to the pub once. I would love to see a cafe, petshop, mc d's lol.

[ruffers]

Le Nandos

[giggirl]

Oooohhhhh Nandos - now you're talking my language. That would be worth the walk to the Village.

[david_carnell]

Wouldn't be a Gourmet Burger Kitchen would it, Javed?

[TillieTrotter]

An Italian chain. Trust me.

[womanofdulwich]

bring back the dulwich steak house I say.

[handymaneast dulwich]
