donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Spotted my local sandwich shop had lobster rolls as a special. Very glad I did. 121236
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 01/10/2026From the same newsletter. Proof that even the worst people can occasionally be completely right. Ray Mears is much better than the rapist baptising Grylls. 020
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Well this looks excellent. The black pudding stuffed devils on horseback that were a highlight of last night.. 150
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 15/09/2026@sevillatapas.bsky.social and across this in compleat imbiber 5 (1961) and love the reference to Marchanuda, a throw back to a smaller trade when vineyards were actually mentioned. 260
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Salmon, spinach and celeriac terrine has worked out pretty well. 3120
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Friends here will be aware of Jude’s health issues. Anyway, we’re having a lunch to thank our friends who fed / looked after him while we were in Germany cycling. Clearly this is an excellent opportunity for me to buy a terrine mould… 081
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The upstairs at the renovated Simpson's chop house (now Cloth Cornhill) is starting to look properly good again (and smell of varnish and wood products)... 080
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Marie would like you to see her excellent belly. Hope you feel better soon. 070
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Marie spent the bulk of today enjoying what I believe she thinks is her side of the bed. 5150
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Clearly ‘Amontillado blend’ is still accepted terminology as I doubt the wine society are bending the rules (am going for a hike with a friend who’s one of their buyers on Sunday so I’ll ask). Looks like Morrisons have mislabelled. Have asked my partner to see which bodega it’s from… 430
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 29/08/2026One of Mehmet II's cannons (at the Istanbul military museum, which I stumbled upon when I was last there). 200

donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Churchy people. I’ve just been at a service at Christ Church in Cheltenham and there’s a really distinctive suspended cross. I asked both chaplains if they knew the story behind it, which neither did. Any ideas? @oldenoughtosay.com 32012
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 24/08/2026They loved the imagery just failed to quite read the caption. 0200
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Oi, Bob Mould is way too cool for that, he's much more likely to be extolling the virtues of his favourite motorway service stations... (I saw Sugar recently and watching him bounce around the stage was a joy) 210
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 22/08/2026cannot wait for the highlights to drop... fyi the bottom of the table right now 010
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Had this idiot on my chest for nearly half an hour. Quite wonderful. 1150
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I think the key thing is that delicate aspic jelly is the medium and not artificial jello... This sort of vibe (will accept that head cheese is also a very weird name).. 030
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 20/08/2026They would totally have word meta glasses and uploaded this shit to TikTok 241
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 20/08/2026How did I not know about the leavened / unleavened bread schism of the 11th century? @deliciouslegacy.bsky.social 3174
donaldé @donalde.bsky.social · 10/08/2026We stumbled on a fondue tent at a wine festival in the Jura this January, fun but I'd drink the wine again before I'd do the fondue... 220
