Not to be overshadowed by Rita Hayworth and Gilda, the latest Eat This Podcast also looks into The Swedish Conundrum.

My first drive-by rabbit. And I only noticed it once I was on the bus and looking distractedly at my phone. Probably doesn't count in the greater scheme of things, but what the heck.
Latest episode considers possibly the original pintxo. A plump Cantabrian anchovy, a spicy pickled guindilla pepper, and a juicy green olive, skewered on a toothpick. It's invention is contested, but not its name, nor the inspiration for that name: Gilda.

I wanted to bag this rabbit because the house in the photo was derelict for years and falling apart because, we were told, the siblings who inherited it couldn't agree what to do with it. No idea how that was resolved, but it looks great now.
