"Although most people take their meal away at Deserted Cactus, a Caribbean stall tucked at the back of Peckham’s Holdrons Arcade, it’s worth hanging around to eat crunchy Southern fried jackfruit and warming, wholesome stews fresh, and for a chat with the friendly owner. We salute you if you can finish the huge plate. As Esme said to us as we packed up leftovers, “It’s always nice to have some left to snack on, or for dinner later”. Just know you can only get lunch (and leftovers) on Thursdays and Saturdays, but it’s worth it—for both the nourishing food and homely feel." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna
