Cookes is nice food,my mate always gets his grandad a carry-out from there whenever he is passing,shepherds bush nowadays all the no income tax no VAT no money back no guarantee Del Trotter market traders wear turbans or rasta coloured marley hats,london culture is being eroded.

Same thing when you have a pint in the old eastend boozer the Blind Begger...white bar staff and punters inside...everyone working and shopping on the market stalls outside are black...thats the myth of a multicultural society for you...a countrys national identity being diluted...places like commercial road you could be in any European City

 

Im a Manzes man myself........Cookes v Manzes is the equivalent of West Ham/Millwall.....Arsenal/Spurs or any other rivalry .........plenty of turf wars have broken out over a drop of liquor and a dollop of mash !......Theres small areas of East London that are near untouched in terms of identity....The Manzes in Walthamstow High Street down to the Sackers with their fruit and veg stalls to old man Smiley on the coats......all the way along Palmeston Road up the Lord Palmeston and Priory Court are still virtually as " east end " as they were back in the ,s,70,s and before.....ok its north east London rather than pure east end but its a unique little manor that has somehow managed to hold onto its roots a little bit.... and i love it !

 

In fairness to the dirty shitbags over the river parts of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe are the same.

 

As regards best pie & mash.....much as i hate to admit it.....Tony,s Pie & Mash Waltham Abbey Market Square.

I don't like beans ,so when this place opened up in monmouth it was a godsend ,the cheese on toast is extra mature cheese,no rubbery shite,and they have bird table there,so loads of sparrows etc flying around,we are sat under a gazebo outside in this pic.

 

Whats the world coming to leafy greens on a fry up .....on the very rare occasion i have a fry up i just commit to it and go full out cholesterol the stomach has no conscience

That's a bit of garnish,lol,I mopped the plate with the cheese on toast ,then ate the other toast an marmalade after,lol

Nathans was purely a match day treat for me though i dont think it was worth the queue !......The Kellys shop in Roman Rd used to have ol man Charlies shop the Crafty Cobblers next door he was a cracking character he used to muck about with the paving along there years ago trying to ruin peoples shoes .....The Bermondsey Manzies is good but Walthamstows better.....that said Tonys in Waltham Abbey is the best ive had get yourself over there mate......if its good enough for Beckham its good enough for me !.....Must admit im not a big fan of eels i can take them or leave them but ive never tired of pie shops over the years part of the attraction was always the atmosphere and characters you,d get in them bit like the Tubby Issac stalls years ago id pull up for a natter with the van and the black cab boys rather than the eels
