you can change the bottom bar back in safari settings (but the tab switcher which seemed far away is actually hidden in a swipe from the url bar, so I kept it on compact)

In El Paso, an Unlikely Cheese Reigns Supreme Originating in medieval Alsace, this semisoft, orange-rind cheese is commonly used in Mexican dishes in the modern border region.

Muenster is Mexican. Read how and why that came to be in my latest for @texasmonthly.bsky.social www.texasmonthly.com/food/muenste...

what is the point of BA? worse service than Ryanair, more expensive to pick a seat, and they seem to cancel the flight a third of the time

Why Is My Drink So Damn Weird? When every cocktail is an experiment in novelty, ordering feels like a gamble. But if history teaches us anything, it’s that this era won’t last forever.

This @davidwondrich.bsky.social is magnificent, a marvel, the best piece of food and drink writing I've read in ages, a great respite from a stressy news world, amazing:

In other sandwich news, hearing about the schiacciatefication/foccacification of seaside tourist towns all around Europe (except Italy). I guess it’s the next step from the burrata menu takeover. Seems entirely instagram and tiktok driven.

yeah, lots of comments asking if they still do it! sadly a one week special.

ta, but I think that was a few years ago (also sourdough bread isn’t quite right for it)

Iceland do some great things but is underappreciated, M&S also have an incredible array of frozen food (especially fish and desserts)

feels like frozen food is the frontier that Brits can’t cross, such a shame with Picard and things like this youtu.be/YXCcUBBoMZ0?...

given how the archives of the Millennium Commission have been passed around (and I suspect lost), I’d be surprised if anyone knows where it is and what will happen to it

it’s not off beat and not haute cuisine, but on a hot day / evening there’s nothing better than the Prater biergarten

Where are Michael Jackson's giant HIStory statues 30 years later? The King Of Pop had 10 statues made in his image in 1995, but where can they be seen three decade later?

This is a great piece, a little bit for the weirdness of its supposed topic, but mainly for the list of truly weird places around the world who thought they'd benefit from a Giant Michael Jackson statue. A 1970s miniature recreation of South Africa! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

it’s quite incredible. it’s like the opposite of the way religion works. and will be even more compelling.
