Please be gentle I’m new to message boards!
Someone I have got to know (through the love of good food from his deli market stall) has recently opened a restaurant/deli which uses and sells only local produce from Derbyshire.
I must recommend the steak, homemade onion chutney and Dovedale blue cheese toasted sandwich it was the best piece of beef I have tasted in a long time.
I thought that it was worth a mention as there are not many places that I know that support local products

That sounds great but where exactly is it??? Sorry!!

Sorry, Im new and excitable
Its on Green lane in Derby if you go to www.souldeli.com then theres a map if thats any help

Excellent! Thanks lenore

Thats ok I hope you enjoy the food if you ever get to go

Thats ok. I hope you enjoy if you get to go

Thanks- do u no if they have any plans for mail order??

I dont know I think it may be a little diifficult as it depends on what is avalable at the time.I can ask for you though

Thanks dont go to too much trouble for my wondering foodie brain!!

Thats ok im in there most days anyway its a bit addictive
If anyone needs to know its child friendly too

I no ive got a local cheese thats amazing and we're her first customers at the farmers market every week!!

WOW ive found someone that loves cheese as much as i do. we are quite lucky in Derby we have a farmers market once a month and a continental market ever three. ive just sucessfully converted my husband to blue cheese, he used to run screeming from it as a child

well ours is like feta but more creamy but can't remember the name at the mo!!

Sorry dont know that one. We're more into cheese that bites back, its actually quite cool cus although we dont get it as sttrong for my daughter she's a bit of a cheese fiend. But anyway im going int Soul Deli tomorrow so i shall ask him

thanks

Sorry, he wasnt in today but i shall force myself to go in until he is

seriously it wasn't a major issue just a general wondering!! thanks anyway!!

Dont worry its just an excuse really. Il let you know

Thanks- got some more beautiful cheese today and planning to make some feta and honey griddle bread cakes this weekend with it i'll let you no if its good- a recipe may be for your daughter?

I'm afraid that he hasnt the room to do mail order at the moment so we shall have to wait and see
That sounds fantastic! Please, Heather loves honey and cheese so yes it sounds the perfect thing for her (not too bad for me either!) Obviously if there are any recipes that i can give you then i shall it just depend on what your after

Thanks for asking- well im always looking for intresting delis to visit so thankyou.
the recipe is---

4oz of feta cheese
2 tbsp of honey
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup Plain flour.

Mash the cheese, honey and salt with a fork until well combined.
Add the flour till it forms a dough, then knead brieftly. rest at room temp for 20mins.
Divide the dough in 12 equal pieces. flour the work surface and roll each piece into a very thin circle about 3 inches wide.
Lightly oil a nonstick griddle pan and heat over medium low hea. grill each circle until goldern about a minute each side. serve warm.

I didnt get to do them at the weekend so please let me know how you get on!

They sound fantastic, when i get chance i certanly will. Im making curried goat at the mo. Im not sure what its like though, it has to stu over night so i shall let you know

Please do!! Where did you buy it? If you get the chance try to buy some ostrich steak tastes more like beef steak than poultry.

I love ostrich, have you tried kangeroo or aligater they are fantastic too. the goat is realy nice, it is the texture of lamb but a bit stronger in taste. How hotyou want it depends on how much seasoning you use.
There are no measurements as my friend does it by feel.
Onions
Black pepper (crushed)
All purpose seasoning
Garlic/Ginger paste
Tin of chopped tomatoes (if wanted)

Season meat with pepper. Seasoning and pastes. Chop onions.
Fry meat first, making sure oil is v. hot. Add onions when meat starts to produce liquid. Add water to suit, bring to the boil then simmer on lowest heat possible. (min of 5 hours) Obviously add extra chillies etc if you want it hotter.
Hope you like it.
