Street Party: July 2
Lots of Brixton Market/Village news. The wine shop is now open opposite Nour's, and a charcuterie/cheese shop is opening next door to it in June. A Brazilian place has opened next to Nour called Prima Donna I think. In BV, El Panzon (burritos - same as in the Hootahob) is now in the corner unit where the Colombian place used to be. I am quite excited about this one.
The wine shop is small but has some interesting bottles. Prices are about £7-£10.
Prima Donna is run by the people from the excellent Brazas on Tulse Hill rd.
Excited about El Panzon too

Expensive bread?

I've eaten once in Granville Arcade since it got posh. Pakistani food. Very good indeed. Lunch it was, with hendo.

I don't mind the poshos being there in previously long-closed shops, just as long as the market stalwarts aren't priced out, which prices me out. That will probably happen though.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
And not expensive.

I don't know. I didn't pay, hendo did.

Will definitely be trying Prima Donna! How exciting.
and pleased about El Panzon - only Mexican food in London I've ever really enjoyed.
The bread down that way really is pricey though - can't bring myself to buy it...

Yeah, proper. Probably has seeds and nuts on it as well and does things to your bowels

The poor can't afford "proper" bread
They can if they make it themselves like wot I do - works out at around 50p a loaf for sourdough, which would knock you back around £3 at least in an artisan bakery.
Not that I'm claiming to be poor!
Non Chorley process and/or organic and/or sourdough.

The poor don't have time. They're too busy stressing

You're showing how posh you are. I don't even know what Chorley process means

50p to make and they charge £3

and the rich don't gamble or drink beer?
I know because of some freelance translation I did (once upon another lifetime) for a firm which made commercial size kneading machines and mixers.You're showing how posh you are. I don't even know what Chorley process means
Chorley process: Vitamin C added with the yeast (makes the yeast a lot more lively), steam proving on a conveyor belt, no knocking back it's only proved once, conveyor belt oven.
And consequently extra gluten, partly because the dough has far less time to ferment. Also less flavour.

I know all about the Chorley thing (Stig has been on about this for years) but I'd rather use the bread machine if I want to avoid that. I just can't bring myself to pay almost £4 for a loaf of bread! Also sourdough is perfectly nice but there does seem to be a bit of an obsession with it - every now and then does me.
Horses are a mug's game, and by tomorrow evening I'll have damn well earned any beer which gets tipped down my throat!
FWIW the kitchen here is only right for sourdough in the summer, the rest of the year it's too cold.
Sweetie, there are a lot of things I can do, but prefer not to. At least, not all the time.
