Save Livejournal Month, Day 13: Falafel

My colleagues and I are addicted to the falafel takeaways on Peckham Road.

My favourite is Lebanese Express: I like the cook’s friendly smile and how he picks herbs leaning out of glasses of water to sprinkle them on the hummus and salad wraps.

My vegan colleague prefers the shop a few doors down – she says their falafel is moister. I tried them for the first time today and thought they were OK though a tad too spicy. However, I didn’t like the way the owner bossed around the woman working for him.

I only have half hour lunch breaks.

I used to get my travelcards from the newsagent in that pic and the occasional takeaway from the Chinese two doors down. I don't think there was a Lebanese when I lived in Camberwell, although there were a lot of Turkish cafes. How long are you at Thamesreach?

I don't know what it was like before but I suspect it didn't have trendy places like this and this.

It feels to me like Dalston just before the Chelsea crowd moved in.

And I'm in Thamesreach until December! :-)

No it didn’t. The only time I went to Peckham was to get the train. I went to the Hermits Cave about 18 months ago, that was a no-go pub when I lived in SE5 but it’s quite nice now (not too hipster). Have you been in the S London gallery? Worth 20 mins of your half hour lunchbreak.

Yes, it's just by me, but my lunches are only half-hour long...
