I think it’s probably lahmacun, but if the menu says meat bread then I’ll call it meat bread. My bad photo perspective doesn’t do it justice, very tasty and filling with a pleasant kick for 3 quid. Cooked fresh, with a 5 minute wait that was well worth it.

I popped down today to check out what’s happening around the Ridley Road indoor market. Traders have recently been served eviction notices and it looks like the community are stepping up to oppose that.

The traders seem to be open during the day, and folks volunteer for night shifts to keep the place occupied. It looks like the landlord has cut the power to the location.

See SaveRidleyRoad on insta if you want more/better information about that. It looks like Queensway Market is under threat too and the vendors displayed by the development at Elephant and Castle continue to have a tough time. It really feels like some great community market/food places are under real threat, and I hate this.

I may not have gone to Ararat today if it weren’t for someone adding it to a reddit crowdsourced food map, I’m glad I did – that map is here if you want to check it out or save it: https://maps.app.goo.gl/spYGB5qDP9UkgjeR8?g_st=ac
