    In a bid to follow up the Front Room cafe comment and bolster the "About Stroud Green" section, Petra and I finally succumbed to that waffle place opposite the station on Wells Terrace.

    We're not talking Michelin Stars or anything, but he spread Nutella over a waffle like no-one ever has. Twas yum. And he runs a loyalty scheme.

    Why have I never noticed this place? I walk down that road twice a day. Where is it exactly?

    When you come out of the station (on the Wells Terrace exit) it's on the opposite side next to the bus stop. They smell really nice - follow your nose and you can't miss it.

    But you'll happily stagger home and eat your own dribble mixed with some rank kebab merely because that's the only place left open. Methinks your food priorities maybe skewed. Especially after that dirty chinese you took me to on Fonthill.

    You're right to a degree David, but you see in my experience of spreading nutella on bread for my grandchildren I do get the impression this is terrible sugar-loaded stuff.

    As for Cola zero, well, I have no opinion, never having tried it - but I've never tried frogs legs either

    Not true. I have not had a kebab for years.

    This is true. I was pretty sick after eating that dirty beef thing I ordered.

    I saw this in cambridge yesterday.

    The crepe fad is everywhere.



    Uploading this from my phone to the web to here is probably the most complicated thing i've done all day.

    I'm going to do some work now....

    Andy, you told me a few weeks ago that you'd had one. Now either you've blocked it out your memory or it was some very similar type of filth I logged in my head as a kebab. either way...

    Anyhow, what's with these fads? Is the 'Crepe on local street' like the new "Pasty in mainline station" ?

    And why are all Andy's catering plans revolving around "anything that can be attached to a truck"?

    Because his brother has just recently got his driving licence and many of andy's business ideas start off as "now, I possibly have a free minion, to what use can I put him?"

    Also, to join in the andy-baiting, I don't believe that he hasn't had a kebab for years either. Perhaps he just says that to his veggie girlfriend and Hugh F-W.

    Why? Because Lancelot is about to run off with my girlfriend? Because I once threw a sword in a lake?

    OMG. Finally got round to following your recommendation and had a Nutella waffle yesterday. It was delicious - warm and gooey, just right when walking home in the rain and dark. I can't believe that there are as many as five people in the world who don't like them.

    The point is Liz, they haven't tried them from that stall. They've no idea what they're voting against, probably some bad waffle experience when young, not the gooey loveliness that is standing right there in the car wash. Anyway, we should leave this, as I struggled to accept defeat as it is. I nearly started my own forum for people on the Harringey side of SGR just to try and win the poll.

    The bit that really annoys me about this place, apart from the fact that they don't cook the waffles fresh, is the fact that they refer to them as "Belgium" waffles, rather than Belgian.

    I seriously have to look the other way whenever I walk past.

    Surely "Belgium Waffles" is in the same spirit as "Cow Feets" ?
