I read that first as the Balkan Blood Festival.

This weekend there's a "Balkan Food Festival" at Karlsplatz, with food from Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, Greece, Montenegro, Romania, and Turkey. The first 500 adults each day get free slivovits. There will be cheap beer and wine spritzers.

What could possibly go wrong.

I can't help but notice two notably Serbia-loving countries are missing.

I fortunately got over my temporary Cobi hobby, but I admit their new Tiger (70cm long) is

Especially love the interior details in turret, engine, etc.

When disputes over where the stalls should be located start, run.

History could be exported.

Ah, Marks and Spencer, where lack of selection meets the embrace of middling quality and non-competitive prices.

I have been told by women - in their 30s - that they've recovered from the nadir and are pretty solid for basics. Although they said it's still got the same issue as any other fast fashion brand - which I'm not sure about because M&S don't feel fast.

Although I wouldn't know anything about that. I'm a Uniqlo loyalist.

Edit: I always find their food incredibly disappointing given the price.

Why did I initially picture a Medieval Times-esque location with a Roman theme instead of Medieval? Like, gladiator fights instead of jousting, beer Vestal Virgins rather than tavern wenches, etc. That... actually sounds pretty awesome. 😅

Stinky fish sauce and dormice for everyone!
