Aperitivo (pre-dinner drinks and snacks to prepare the appetite) sounds great in theory but torpedoed our plans a few times.

Sicilian Food Exploration: Sgriccio
Last year H and I had a September holiday in Sicily. As you can imagine, there were lots of good eats, although less cuisine diversity than I had envisaged.
However that gave us the opportunity to make the most of all the Sicilian favourites, which we did with gusto.
London Cocktail Crawls
As you have probably noticed, the last 8 months have been dedicated to posts about my trip to Thailand and Vietnam over the Christmas/New Year period.
But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been eating and drinking anything blog-worthy this year – I have! I have just failed miserably to write up anything 🙂
This post isn’t able to remedy that. It’s really just to flag up some wonderful cocktail bars H and I have been to during monthly “cocktail crawls”. These tend to start early afternoon and take in 4 – 6 stops including food before heading home while most peeps are just getting started!
Distil, Bangkok
Do cocktails improve with a good view?
Distil at Lebua certainly puts this to the test. 64 floors up (and one above the stunning Sky Bar) is Distil, a bar in a dome.
Meat, Glasgow
Ribs, brisket and pulled pork have been springing up as guest stars or as the foundation stones of entire restaurants on a regular basis over the last few years.
For a long time, H and I would slake our desire for American-style meats at Bodean’s in Soho. We’d snack on a pulled pork sandwich with some fries in the casual seating upstairs, and wish we were on a Texas road trip.
These days even Wetherspoon’s sells pulled pork. However there are lots of specialist places to choose from, and on a recent trip to Glasgow we tried a couple.
