While the rest of the world moved on from the concept of “girl dinner” – a plate packed with little bites of delicious snacky bits – I never did. And luckily for us, neither did the team at Thelma.
I saw this absolute gem on the Piccadilly spot’s Instagram. Thelma calls it a farmer’s brekkie. Your nan might call it a ploughman’s plate. But with salami, cheese, pickled veggies, anchovies, jammy soft-boiled eggs and sourdough, I’d call it damn delicious. When I saw it in my feed I just thought, “What is that? And where can I get it?”
We reached out to Olivia Moore, one-third of the talented trio behind Thelma, to find out.
What: Thelma’s Farmer’s Brekkie
How: The dish is a super fresh Euro-style breakfast, which Moore tells us was “plated very simply to show off the best of the ingredients”. The team takes fresh veggies and pickles from its local organic produce growers Presqil and Lucy Margaux, and adds them to a plate with a soft-boiled egg (sometimes topped with an anchovy), some aged cheese and De Parma salami. Also squeezing its way onto the plate is a few slices of house-made sourdough.
Cost: $25
Where: Thelma in Piccadilly. It’s on the breakfast menu and available until sold out.
