Fellow Foodies & Travellers,
Sabrina and I are exploring Croatia’s Dalmatian coast for the next couple of weeks, so we won’t be publishing our next Newsletter until the first week of October.
A continual frustration when writing these stories is that there are always moments that don’t fit neatly into the narrative, so we’re taking the opportunity of this hiatus post to share a bunch more ‘outtakes’ that didn’t make the cut.

I’m so glad you posted these “outtakes”- there are some real gems here!! The “art” with which the Sicilians display that poor animal’s innards is equally fascinating 😁 Enjoy your trip and we eagerly await more golden nuggets!!!!
Some really great photos -- although I'm not sure I want to know what precisely is portrayed in the Sicilian pic 😲
Enjoy your Adriatic odyssey!
