Anyone know where I can buy Brique in UK?

[CountessDracula]

that v thin pastry stuff you get in France (think it is tunisian)

[NotQuiteCockney]

Won't filo do the job?

[CountessDracula]

no I want brique!

It is much better than filo, really good for little spring rolly type things etc

[CountessDracula]

bump

[NotQuiteCockney]

I know a French deli in London Fields that might have it - they do sell fresh-made b'stilla, which I think has brique around it?

[CountessDracula]

ooh if you could ask I should be most grateful!

[NotQuiteCockney]

Oh, I'd be looking for Moroccan food stores, more than Tunisian. Moroccans use brique, if it's the stuff I think, and there are way more moroccans here than Tunisians, ime.

bump for nighttimers

Briques......ummmmmmm memories of french-moroccan granny cooking up delicacies. Can't help you source it but I'll bump for you!

CD, I haven't yet been to my local French deli, but tbh my hopes aren't high. It's a refridgerated thing, I'd expect, and they don't stock much of that.

But I have looked in Moro (the cookbook), and there are a few decent options in there. La Belle Boucherie, 3-5 Bell Street, 020 7 258 0230, Damas Gate, 81-85 Uxbridge Road, 020 8743 5116, le Maroc, 94 Golborne Road, 020 8968 9783, le Marrakech, 64 Golborne Road, 020 8964 8307.

Some of the others look possible, but I bet you'd find it at one of those.

[CountessDracula]

Oh NQC thanks so much

[NotQuiteCockney]

I'm not sure all those still exist. The last two are "Moroccan" and the rest are "Middle Eastern". None are (listed as) wholesalers. Good luck, let me know how it goes, I might want brique someday. (I keep meaning to get rosewater. Bizarrely, I can get sumac in large quantities from our local shops, but I guess that's used in Turkish cooking as well as Lebanese etc ...)

[CountessDracula]

Am going to france soon may get some there I could bring you some back too

[NotQuiteCockney]

Oooh, I could be tempted. I should really try brique, I need to do more with pastry.

Actually, though, it's yogurt with figs in that I really miss from France.

[CountessDracula]

have you tried this ?

[NotQuiteCockney]

Oh, I hadn't looked at non-organic yoghurts - not that the french stuff was organic. I'll have to put that in my next order, thanks!
