It's been a while since we've done a food blog so here's one. I had today (Friday) off work so we caught the 355 bus all the way to Brixton.

| Too cool for school waiting for the bus outside Du Cane Court |
Jackie did a bit of shopping at H&M while the boys pretended to look for clothes. We then got on to the serious business of trawling Brixton Village for somewhere to eat.
We did a full loop before we realised neither of us had any cash so we had to abort and go to a cash machine.

| A shop we quite like has a new façade, made from cardboard tubes. Gotta love Brixton Village |
This gave us some time to decide on where to go. We decided on the
Brixton Cornercopia which had a small fixed lunch menu. They have lots of tables in various places. They have a dining room separate from their kitchen, which is separate from their shop and till area. They also have 3 sets of seating in the lane ways, which is where we settled in.

| Menu of the day (did this photo need a caption?) |
 |
| Kitchen and Larder, a lot of their food is sourced from the Brixton Village markets and most of their food comes from within a few miles |
We quickly made up our minds, there were only a couple of options so it was easy. Soup to start, I had the salt beef sandwich and Jackie had the beetroot salad. For pudding I had the prune soaked brandy pud and Jackie had the sticky toffee pudding. It was all very good but the sticky toffee pudding was a real stand out.
 |
| Beetroot Salad. Neither 'mains' were big but with 3 courses for £11.80 it's fine and probably for the best because you need room for pudding. |
 |
| Who's that little guy? |
 |
| The brandy prunes at the bottom of my pud were too boozy for Jackie. I loved the cream coming in the miniature milk urn. |
 |
| BOOM! |
 |
| Even Theo was impressed |
The other stand out was my beer, from
The Kernel brewery, the Indian Pale Ale Chinook is probably my ideal beer. Jackie had a glass of rioja.
 |
| Yum, at 7.1% alc. just one for lunch. |
Theo was quite well behaved throughout and even had a little feed himself.
We really enjoyed our time at the Brixton Cornercopia, the way it operates is great with a small menu done well and served promptly, but not too fast. The people sitting next to us wanted coffee at the end of their meal, it was suggested to them that they get coffees from Federation Coffee next door because Cornercopia didn't really do coffee, which I thought was great, just focus on what you're good at.
So another successful trip to Brixton Village.

| Back at home base trying to entertain (with some success) |
 |
| Can you see Theo trying to get his dribble in my tea! Mischief. |
In other Du Cane Court food news:
Last night we had Raja Rowing Team for dinner. Rara chicken, Saag Aloo, Naans and Rice. YUM. And we had these home made chicken burgers for Friday night dinner a couple of weeks ago. YUM.
