Bristol Food & Drink: February

Welcome to my first blog post of 2023, and my 11th year of writing this blog!

** Note: I had to redo this blog post from scratch after it got wiped, so please take even more time reading + appreciating it so that my fits of rage and subsequent redoing of everything below is a bit more justified. Thankyoubye!
