Thank you for your introductory note about the famine in Gaza.

I follow lots of foodies on social media and I took a decision to mute them all for now, simply because I cannot bear the juxtaposition of luscious, abundant food with the hideous images coming out of Gaza.

I have no wish to censor anyone or deny anyone the right to do their work but my soul cannot bear the contradictions.

May this terrible onslaught end soon so that we may again see Palestinians growing, cooking and enjoying all the beautiful foods they rightly cherish.

This is a formal invitation to join my cult. Just kidding. It’s a newsletter. But still.

It’s called I Was There, and it features true stories of narrow escapes, questionable seafood, and conversations with warlords that started with “So… what’s your Wi-Fi password?”

All free. All unfiltered. Occasionally unwise.

Subscribing won’t make you taller or richer, but it will make you 73% more interesting at dinner parties.*

*Not scientifically proven, but come on.
