Maybe a knowing person could suggest which daily episode of Yes Minister we should be watching as a bit of analysis to today’s events.

Look at the beautiful vintage photos of Veeraswamy, and a glimpse of its menus from 1940s and '50s. I hope it is saved. Maybe I should write to the King and send him a copy of my book, which places the significance of Veeraswamy in a broader context. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Veeraswamy: UK's oldest Indian restaurant calls on King to save it
Supporters of Veeraswamy, which has operated for almost 100 years, are petitioning the King to intervene.

I just got my copy of The Solitary Gourmet by Taniguchi Jiro & Kusumi Masayuki which I pre-ordered from Right Stuf back years ago. For various reason the publication was delayed until last October, the publisher is a small operation so delays are not unusual.

After a week in Florence and Rome (Fra Angelico and visiting a friend) I’m about 95% Chianti.
Next week is Independent Venue Week #IVW26 so I’ll get back to being 95% IPA.
