I've always had a fascination with St Bartholomews Fair, from which I suspect Vaudeville sprung. This Cruikshank image shows the melee, a bull escaped from nearby Smithfields, a family of acrobats, a full-size Punch in a saucy revue, the world's tallest man...

Arkansas Cafe, Smithfields London. London's first real BBQ place, fantastic brisket and Dixie (later Faubourg, now dead) beer. Fantastic place, and some memorable lunches had there.

I see Danny Robins is doing an episode about the Cock Lane ghost, which remains one of my favorite stories.
It's a story of mass drunkeness, class warfare and the machinations of the new gutter press.
It was the first chapter I wrote for A Natural History of Ghosts, and got the book commissioned.

Big news for bacon lovers! lol. Hot honey really is the food of the moment, and Smithfield's caught onto that at just the right time.
Buuuuut if you'd rather make your own hot honey bacon...

Though there's nothing wrong with sampling a package of Smithfield's new bacon infused with Mike's Hot Honey, you can also easily make it at home.
