Randomness Guide to London Menu

Another colourful delicatessen opens in Brockley, around the corner from Degustation, with friendly staff and, as the logo and website proclaims, a love of food.

This one seems to have a focus on English food producers, with plenty of teas, a range of pickles and jams, Cartmel sticky toffee puddings, meat and cheese, and bespoke ready meals. There's also Italian pasta, a range of olive oils, fresh bread and produce (though this looked slightly less enticing), herbs, spices and drygoods and plenty of other nice things.

Undoubtedly the aspirational citizens of Brockley will welcome this addition.

Note: As of November 2008, Brockley Central reports that the lease of the Dandelion Blue is up for sale; this is due to one of the owners moving to Scotland, not because of lack of business, and they are trying to sell it as a going concern - if it isn't bought, though, it will close at the end of January 2009.
