Thread Name: A gastric Folk Memory for South Londoners
Subject: A gastric Folk Memory for Sth. Londoners
Ok! South London it's Indian territory but the food was good. Does anybody remember Mossy, who served the worlds most unhygienic sandwiches just a couple of miles south of Tower Bridge? The sandwiches were about three inches wide and stuffed with butter and off the bone boiled ham, which he used to cut with an enormous carving knife while arguing fiercely with his wife. As soon as you handed over the money she would give you a beaming smile with the words 'You won't go 'ungry fer no-one will yer luv!' Then a visit to the pie and mash shop at Peckham Rye Railway station on the way to the folk club for your tea. Nothing has tasted as good for years! Well The thread is not folk music but it's Folk Life. Where has it all gone? I miss it! and I can't make a sandwich that tastes as good. However Philadelphia Hoagie's came close (for our U.S.friends!)
