I live in a very leafy south london suburb in a very nice townhouse with off road parking and delightful views over the Ravensbourne valley and across to Crystal Palace and pay through the nose for the priviledge, I'll have you know. Anyway, was out early going to the hospital this morning so I treated myself to breakfast from the local cafe. A lovely bacon and halloumi roll. Another breakfast of champions. So good did it sound, a local workman type person said - that sounds lovely and ordered one for his good self. It's even got some lovely 70s typography. Its worth a trip if you are ever in the area (just avoid sat morning when it gets invaded by Park runners) Crawley's gaff is the middle one... The halloumi-fuelled workman is atop his abode fitting an extension (two wheelie bins sellotaped together). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any food which makes a squeaking noise when you bite is either rubber or still alive. You're supposed to marinate it in purple olive and pomegranate jus first you heathen. That brickie told me that.

Not in Crawley Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Halloumi is so nice, grilled on a salad is best. I'm not a fan of halloumi chips, especially frozen packet ones. Easy enough to make a home better if you fancy them but they are better with other things I reckon. If folk do a salad, harissa and aubergines go well. I wouldn't say it's massively healthy, mind you. Edited April 27, 2021 by Not in Crawley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 You'll have probably had it, its just a hot chilli paste. Tastes great with the cheese. The salt and heat, lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good dish on the breakfast menu is the keema curry. the main menu is very disappointing and vastly overpriced. that said the mrs likes it. I just think it’s all bland and bit shit.

Youri McAnespie Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I dunno why couscous is seen as a food of the perfumed poncery. It's as cheap as rice or pasta and it takes nought but the boiling of a kettle to cook. Bland as fuck unadulterated like, but so is rice, pasta...

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted April 27, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted April 27, 2021 I like the flavour from mushrooms in a nice stew or steak pie but I can't eat them, their texture makes me gip. Let's be honest, they are the athletes foot of the food world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's decent as a lunch during the week - as you say cheep as chips. Cost nowt and makes tons. Had it loads when commuting, plus goes with loads of left over stuff as a one pot meal.
