Louisa Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm thinking of setting up my own retro 70's drinks stall on GG Saturday afternoons. Snowballs with glazed cherries, babychams (served in vintage bottles). Ahh the hipsters will flock to it, "what are these artisan street drinks the working classes used to drink? Maybe if we drink them we can be even more ironically cool"And yes I'll charge triple market price. Louisa.

actuarygi Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Guys thanks for the humorously negative comments. On a more positive note the sign is not totally dark. The response rate for this thread is high relative to the average in the Lounge. Controversy may be thought of as the prelude to great thing.Let me explain a bit. I gather that the word soup is not very fashionable. And perhaps it alludes to the historical phenonmenon of soup kitchen. However, soup is not a bad thing either. A hot broth with chopped vegetable and diced meat flowig down the stomach, accompanied by good quality bread at lunch time can be nutritious, tasty, convrnient and cost effective for sustenance until dinner time. There are many varieties to suit people of different tastes, lifestyle and energy requirement. Soup can also be seasonal. The Spanish has been making cold tomato soup for centuries. But, interest in hearing your views ! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/91985-soup-cafe/#findComment-955084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Problem is that with rent on E.D. premises, selling soup and salad is not going to cover that rent..

Mick Mac Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I genuinely think it's a great idea. I love my own home made soup. You need a title like a soup barrista type of thing. If there isn't a term already just invent one. Soup is great but the bread to go with it is important too. I'm sure you can take this idea and soup it up a bit.I'm assuming the actuary thing has become boring...

actuarygi Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 35 pound a bowl does not correctly reflect the character of soup. The price should be accessible for most people who don't want to cook lunch and simply want a healthy and filling meal against the cold wind and rain.
