Nope. Although as I've never met her she may have been there too!

You should arrange an urbanite meet-up down there

 

[nagapie]

was it nagapie?

I'm afraid I was at work at that time. But I've recently met Ms T. She told me off at the farmer's market for saying I was sick of asparagus (at least I think it was her). Yes, I also thought I'd never hear those words come out my mouth.

 

[Orang Utan]

I've definitely bumped into her in BV with you before, nagapie!

I had asparagus 2 weeks in a row recently. Baffled as to what all the fuss is about

 

[quimcunx]

there's nothing special about asparagus, except perhaps that it's still seasonal.

I love them. A friend cooked me a plate of nothing but asparagus spears at the weekend and I realised where I'd been going wrong, I'd been eating them with other things. Pure unadulterated asparagus is where it's at.

Still don't think it would do anything for me

They were from my sister's allotment

 

[quimcunx]

I do that with peas and leeks sometimes. and sweetcorn.

That was you?! How did you know it was me?

I think I've seen your picture on here. And I may have been with OU one time when he said hello to you.

Totally on their own?
I like it blanched then griddled, with lots of butter and pepper. It's one of the most delicious things in the world

Not totally, a dribble of olive oil and some pepper. But no pasta or rice or other things to muck them up. I could actually eat them completely on their own too.

You eat peas on their own?

 

[quimcunx]

yes, both raw and cooked. yum.

And fine beans too.


maybe with a little butter...

Yet more sparkling PR for #Brixton eats. But ssh, yeah? http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/features/perfection-in-a-parcel-get-to-grips-with-chinese-dumplings-7827831.html

Has anywhere in the Villaaaaaaage ever had a bad review? Or is all the food there automatically amazing?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Green beans

Yep, that's what I know them as

 

[Mrs Magpie]

They used to be known down South as French beans. Bobby beans up North.

Why 'villaaaaaaage'?

Not in the North I'm from. French or green.

 

[quimcunx]

Well I shop in M&S and they are fine beans there. I've also called them green beans.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Not in the North I'm from. French or green.

Yes, but you're too young to remember.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Why 'villaaaaaaage'?

It's the latest meme - keep up!

 

[Orang Utan]

Explain!

 

[boohoo]

Not sure but here's my reviews:
Honest burger - yum yum yummy
El Panson - yum yum yummy
That thai place - yum yum yum
Grace and French - yum yum yum
The ice cream place - yum yum yu
Bellatonis - yum yum yu
Elephant - yum yum
Brick Box - yum yum
Agile Rabbit -yum yu

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Explain!

tbh I cant even remember how it started. I think maybe someone overheard someone pronouncing it as such and posted it here. You can't have failed to notice people repeating it here ad nauseum for the last few months?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Not sure but here's my reviews:
Honest burger - yum yum yummy
El Panson - yum yum yummy
That thai place - yum yum yum
Grace and French - yum yum yum
The ice cream place - yum yum yu
Bellatonis - yum yum yu
Elephant - yum yum
Brick Box - yum yum
Agile Rabbit -yum yu

So the next one will be yum yu, and then it'll be yum y?
