<p style="margin: 0px 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I bought some of the Italian Farmers' Porchetta earlier for my lunch. Not cheap (worked out to about £3 for a thick slice, which is all you need), but utterly, wonderfully delicious and well worth it IMHO.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We had it with a jar of their roasted peppers, plus a bag of the local "Finsbury Park" community salad (it had flowers in it - brilliant) and a loaf of bread from the organic shop.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I think both these shops have come a long way since they first opened and have been a great addition to the Fiveways end of the high street.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Woodpecker</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">* this is not a plug for anyone; I just love good food</span></p>

    Good point and yes I agree the neighbourhood is improving. Pity the ladder is going from bad to worse but it could be the council over there. Chang

    The weird thing is that if you buy the Porchetta loose, it costs a fortune, but if you buy it in a panini you seem to get more for less money. It almost makes sense to buy the panini and throw away the bread.

    Highly recommended, good value and totally scrumptious. I have visited, traveled and eaten in Italy regularly in the past 7 years and this is the most authentic Italian 'aperitivo' I've seen outside Italy - oversized glass of vino and I counted 13 different bites. [Commercial break] If anyone is interested there are still quite a few available weeks this spring and summer in Casa Meridiana, home of Stroud Green Olive Oil. Primavera Italiana!

    And by the way - no hard sell. (Edit: at Italian Farmers taster evenings, that is.)

    K is correct the taster is excellent. No hard sell but it is difficult not to buy some of what you have just enjoyed
