Torres cured cheese crisps are a fine and wonderful thing; recognisably Manchego-ish, and will restore your faith in cheesy crisps. All Torres crisps pale, however, in the force of nature that are their fried egg flavour crisps. There's some sort of witchcraft going on with them.

A much needed escape to the bucolic Kent countryside for some vintage motorcycle racing. The roar of ancient machines and the perfume of Castrol R in the air. Delicious!

It is the time of year for a corpse reviver, and where better to drink one than in the place of its invention; the American Bar at The Savoy. A fitting joint birthday celebration with @skochlab.bsky.social
