Author: Running a delicatessen, I obviously have a lot of interest in food. There’s no better place to work for a man like me.
Sometimes I look around at the Sicilian olives and Milanese gremolata and think to myself how lucky I am. But what’s my favourite food? What tickles my tastebuds like nothing else? I’m a man who knows his stuff, after all. What impresses even a man like me?
Cured ham would be up there, but not top. Bayonne ham, prosciutto, jamon serrano – all are excellent, but they’re not my favourites.
Exotic breads always get me too. Sourdough, potato bread and rye are all delicious, but again they lack something.
Foie gras, rillettes, artichoke pate seggiano – all are put in the shade by my favourite.
My favourite food of all is cheese.

What is a meal without condiments? It would be like a local funfair without thieves and deviants – a vital component would be lacking.
Here at David’s Delicatessen, we pride ourself on our range of condiments. We offer all manner of sauces, some are old favourites, others are spiced in exotic ways. There’s sure to be something to tickle your tastebuds.
My own personal favourite is an old classic that you don’t see so much in the modern day. There was a time when peasants and noblemen would both rely on this glorious substance to pep up their repasts.
Of what do I speak? Why, salad cream of course. Our top-seller.
I don’t know why customers come to us for the first time, but I do know why they return. People come back to David’s Delicatessen time and time again because they trust us to source only the finest examples of the world’s many culinary delicacies.
The pork pie may be a humble food, but it’s something that can transcend that when made correctly. Here at David’s Delicatessen, we travelled up and down the land looking for the finest examples.
And we found them.
If you come to us, you can rest assured that you’re getting something exceptional. That is why we only sell Tesco own brand pork pies. They go perfectly with Tesco own brand English mustard.
Sometimes it’s not about a particular dish, it’s about the way in which you combine ingredients. Certain things compliment each other and what results is more than the sum of its parts.
The key is to use high quality ingredients. You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, after all. Our latest exquisite combo meal is a classic example of this. With the wrong ingredients, it wouldn’t be half as good, but we source the best to create something truly inspiring.
If you come to David’s Delicatessen for baked beans and potato waffles, you can be sure that you’re getting only the finest Heinz beans and only the top of the range Bird’s Eye potato waffles.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our products here at David’s Delicatessen. I know that most of our customers are looking for something a little bit special, a little bit out of the ordinary, so I try to provide them with that wherever possible.
Exotic food is so inspiring. It really gets your blood pumping and it can fire your imagination. Well how about our latest special? This is sure to do the trick. I’ll talk you through it.
First, we take a loaf of sliced white bread and we insert two of the slices into one of our “toasters”. This electric heating device, crisps the bread delightfully at which point we apply butter. We then have two different toppings on offer. The first is a preserved fruit condiment that we call “jam”. The second is yeast extract, which some people in the know refer to as “marmite”.
