Last updated on: April 28, 2017 at 9:14 am By Heron Michelle

Why is it Bacchus' Salad? At Beltane, I'm very interested in carnal enjoyment, indulgence, and a feasting for all my senses, including delicious foods. Plus, red-wine vinegar and asparagus and chickpeas are just so darned phallic. I dunno, it just fits the bill. Hail Bacchus! Read more
