Brixton news, rumours and general chat - December 2012

[Manter]

Sainsbury's do a reasonable chipotle sauce

Tried it before- not hot enough. It's kind of Connecticut not Louisiana....

 

[Orang Utan]

they also do nice dried chipotle but if you want choice you will need a specialist shop like that one in Bethnal Green/Whitechapel

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Make your own?

Wholefoods sell the right stuff... I'll just nip in there

That chatroom is a little lively on the eyes!

 

[Thimble Queen]

Trying out the new bombay kitchen tonight... will report back

 

[Thimble Queen]

I had a naga lamb the boy had a chicken pasanda. It was fine, average although my dish was a bit on the oily side. Nothing special and def not a patch on Khans. Plus points - they delivered quickly and take card.

Turin Brakes are playing the hootahobgoblin at the mo.

Review noted!

 

[Thimble Queen]

I would add though that I'm very picky about curries. The boy thought his chicken pasanda was delicious!

 

[colacubes]

I reviewed up thread. Was nice but not as good as Khans. But nice fellas and I wish em luck.

Yeah def wish them luck. It's great to have the option of a curry on my doorstep

Ethnic food sourcing question:

Anyone know where I can reliably get ham stock cubes in Brixton?

 

[quimcunx]

Not pork stock cubes.

 

[Orang Utan]

Pretty much any of the food shops on Electric Avenue IIRC. never had any trouble finding them in Brixton.

This is going to be like the haggis where people claim they are available everywhere all year round on the basis of buying one once in January 1987.

 

[Orang Utan]

No, I used to buy the whole range of knorr ones frequently. Haven't for about a year or so though. But why would it change? And you can buy haggis all year round from most supermarkets

 

[quimcunx]

NO YOU FUCKING CAN'T.

 

[Orang Utan]

Well I had some last month! From sainsbury's

 

[Kanda]

NO YOU FUCKING CAN'T.

I saw one the other day in Tesco on Acre Lane.. thought it was odd. Why would anyone eat it at Christmas? Most Scottish food is based on a dare/bet.

 

[Onket]

I've never had a problem buying haggis either. Sorry quimmy.

 

[Orang Utan]

they are usually on the top shelf of the cabinet, so maybe Quincy didn't spot them
Damn you autocorrect

It was moider trying to reach them on that ridiculously high shelf.

Yeah, a relic from the early days which is still going....it's functional but basic! One of the reasons the radio station has been kept going so long (15-16 years) is the costs are small/non-existent. Unfortunately that means a few old bells and some ancient whistles!

 

[Orang Utan]

Avoid Tesco this afternoon. Queues all the way up the aisles.
And well done to those of you who don't use evil Tesco anyway.
You can sit at home and polish your haloes.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

For future reference, haggis lovers. It freezes well.

 

[quimcunx]

I know it freezes well, but I get into trouble from OU when I buy all the haggis (when it is available for a week or so in January).

Anyway MASSIVE SURPRISE - no ham stock cubes in any shop on Electric Avenue.

And it seems no one knowledgeable has turned up since this morning.

Tesco had ham stock cubes once, about 12 years ago.

Wing Tai came closest with pork stock cubes.

I had some of them at the back of a cupboard till recently and I saw the best before date

Boil some bacon and onions up and use the stock from that.
