Brixton news, rumours and general chat - December 2012

I've bought bacon, it'll have to do.

I've stocked up on them before and then I think I threw the last of them out too once they were a few years out of date.

Have you tried A&C the portugese deli? They seem to have a good selection in there. I don't eat meat though, so not sure they do ham ones.

 

[quimcunx]

I'm home now. No. I'll have a look next time. I'm willing to bet £3 that they don't.

I'm not the one who claims every shop on electric avenue stocks something they don't OU.


Anyway so much for ethnic foods. What about the Scots? 2k of us living around brixton. It's racism I tells ya.

 

[colacubes]

DId you try Nour?

 

[quimcunx]

Yes. I did all the shops in Electric avenue where ''all the shops will have them''.

I nearly took a photo of the stock cubes in there but it was too crowded.

I'm not the one who gave up too soon and went home

Tbh that's the one place I would have said was possible.

Ethnic food sourcing question:

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

Which ethnicity are ham stock cubes specific to?

 

[quimcunx]

I'm not the one who gave up too soon and went home

Yes because going in every single shop that sells stock cubes on EA because someone said they all sell ham stock cubes is giving up.

Maybe you think this is a ham stock cube.

Based on the fact that they sell them everywhere in Scotland and nowhere in London, except that one time in Tesco 12 years ago, I can only surmise they are considered a Scottish delicacy.

 

[Orang Utan]

I'm surprised you didn't have a look on Atlantic Road too that's all. I've definitely bought then somewhere round there. In fact, Portuguese and South American establishments are more likely to sell them than Muslim places innit.

Yes, OU. That's what I would have thought. Someone, however, was insistent. Not a very reliable person though so I knew it was probably a wild goose chase. Lucky I was going anyway.

I bought tonnes of meat at Dombey's and loads at Nour too. I had to buy a granny trolley to get everything back. I may also have bought a slow cooker.

 

[Orang Utan]

You know how vague I am. I just meant that vicinity. I can't remember the exact shop I bought them in. I would have thought you would have used a little bit of your own intitiave. I hope you learned your lesson: don't listen to me and find out for yourself

FWIW I generally end up going to the Streatham Common branch of Sainsbury's for Knorr ham stock cubes, but Asda and larger branches of Tesco have them on and off.

I'll use some of my initiative on you next time I see you.

Next time get two and throw the spare out the bus window outside mine.

If you can wait until Saturday, I can bring a spare box to the bonfire.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Put some ham in a blender!

I'd never sen them before but spotted them the other day in Londis in Crystal Palace. If you're still looking I can get some and you can pick them up at the Windmill.

 

[quimcunx]

See, they're like the magic lands at the top of The Faraway Tree, popping in and out of existence.

Greebo that would be useful if you remember. If not I might tap you up, twisted.

Thank you.

 

[Frumious B.]

Does anyone have a potato they can spare? There's a Foxtons mini parked in Rushcroft Road. (Blocking a driveway, of course.)

 

[quimcunx]

No but I may be able to put my hands on a molotov cocktail if that's of use.

 

[Greebo]

No worries, I'll remember.

I can hear fireworks on NPR... ajdown will livid, that's his New Year ruined!!!!

 

[Onket]

All this fuss about some stock cubes!

 

[ajdown]

Fireworks already...?

 

[Kanda]

Ha!!

They lasted less than 5 minutes Victor Meldrew!!!

 

[ajdown]
