Real pleasure to speak to friends of @ChippMuseum about the Bristol-London railway & lines in Nth Wiltshire. Found myself saying the railway ‘made’ towns. Chuffed; too, things I took for granted as a rail worker fascinated attendees. @railway200 @RailwayMagazine #BR #Railway

This month’s BBC History Magazine column is Parthian Chicken, a delicious recipe from the oldest cookery book from antiquity, Apicius. According to the ancient Roman natural philosopher Pliny, Apicius was ‘the most gluttonous gorger of all spendthrifts” 🥘
