Edition-129 of Delicacies. As usual, max 5 articles that I found interesting and worth re-reading. Handpicked, no robots. Minimalism in curation. I did not expect so much good stuff coming out during the last week of the year. So, contrary to what I said last week, THIS is the last Delicacies of 2018. Enjoy the holidays’ festivities and renewed contact with family and friends. See you all back next year!
