a british colony in peckham




-----------


In Peckham, you see mostly caribbean and african food stores or chicken and fries
take-aways. One day, a friend suggested me to eat at M. Manze, a place for 
original pie and mash. I always passed by this place but never recognized it! It is delicious. And an interesting cultural experience. It feels like being in an 
english colony in multicultural Peckham. A sign in the shop says: Founded 1902. 
Opened here 1927. The home of pie and mash. It's so nice to have both: the 
choice to have food from all over the world and a place to feel traditional, 
nostalgic and very british (whereas the minced soya-pie is quite contemporary).

They also sell this amazing Peckham postcard.
