Butcher on Rye Lane sells “cow fuku”. That’s ox cheeks, isn’t it?

What are ox cheeks, cheeky boy?

+ 1 for butcher.

I stopped being a vegetarian a couple of years ago so missed the wonder that was Kennedy’s …

Trying to source Ox Cheeks in South London is a nightmare.

A good butcher would be sweet.

A sausage shop maybe? A sausagerie; or Saucissonerie perhaps? An eggerie? A pain au chocolaterie?

Dags,
With regard to Mr. & Mrs, what I meant was the black birds were male and female.

Ate at Mishkins at 25 Catherine Street WC2B 5JS — a stone’s throw from my earliest restaurant work in London at Joe Allen and Orso, oh twenty six years ago.

SIMPLY BRILLIANT bill for two including service — £38 Overall pretty close to perfect. Worthy of much admiration.

Ate at Green and Blue last night East Dullwich. Food OK, service, OK, ambience OK. Bill for four people, including service: £143 Overall lifeless and DULL. And Expensive.

West End? East Dullwich?

Mishkin wins every time. It’s the sort of catering that would MAKE Camberwell, alongside Angels & Gypsies, Wuli Wuli, Mangal and Silk Road etc when they are on form.

Actually it’s the sort of catering we were considering for Paul’s Continental — the Olive Shop. But the owner didn’t want to let it when we asked.

The excellent Mr Chunters certainly “puts his feet where his mouth is” by making a perambulation thus, bearing down manfully on the source of the discussion, viz, the place in question. Camberwell should salute such a man who dares nose out the truth with that eminently infallible instrument of inquiry, the nose.

Miss Lili, one is generally wary of villainy around the Court area because one is aware of the grim cloud of notoriety that emanates from the pursuit of felony. Why, the square cowers in the shadow of the stark mansion where justice is dealt or otherwise by m’learned friends and that bespectacled ancient wise owl known by the denizens of south London as “the beak”.

On which subject, pray Mr Chunters, may the less cognisant, indeed, less “cockney” citizens of the celebrated village of Camberwell be apprised of the polite name of “a Mr and Mrs”?

Is anyone else enjoying this notable day, the 200th anniversary of Mr Dickens’ arrival in this comic and tragic but altogether fascinating land?
