Jimi Famurewa’s week in food, from a Willy’s Pies pasty to toasted banana bread
“I’m trying to get in ‘Five Things…’,”says my wife, Madeleine, handing me a bowl of spiced parsnip soup with a couple of oven-warmed samosas on the side. Easiest decision of the week.
An alarm was set in order to bag a one of the crazily popular lamb mince, potato and zataar pasties from Will Lewis (aka Willy’s Pies). Extremely silly. Completely worth it.
Another order from a lockdown-busting finish at home business brings frozen shiitake mushroom and chicken parcels from Chubby Dumpling. Special shout out to their sweet, riotous, sesame chilli dip.
After the welcome excitement of snow – and careful construction of world’s smallest and iciest snowman – roast forerib of beef with dauphinoise potatoes is just the rib-sticking ticket.
Aimless, mind-clearing bike ride takes me to Mousetail Coffee in Deptford, now reborn as a deli. Squidgy, toasted banana bread – that old Lockdown 1 wheeze – provides a surprising lift.
