Think it’s possible that, food-wise, Axidava doesn’t get out much.

Outstanding new podcast series, featuring David Baddiel and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi. Just discovered it. Can’t recommend it highly enough, especially in these polarised times, as a means of understanding two complex perspectives.

In Vienna. This is garlic soup. Yes the bread bowl’s a bit Harvester. But delicious.

By the defaced statue of Karl Leuger an antisemitic nationalist who was Mayor of Vienna at the end of the 19th century. Well done to whoever did the ultra-neat cock and balls.

It’s looking very Viennese in Vienna.

David David Baddiel of Three Lions fame/infamy, visited Hibs training when he was in Edinburgh for the 1997 Fringe.

Chic Charnley was on hand to give him a warm Scottish welcome 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😂
