The stall, set up on a plaza next to the Bismarckplatz tram junction, prepared the fish by pegging it to wooden planks and roasting it vertically over an open log fire. We literally feasted on smoked salmon while enjoying the festive crowd milling around and the glitters of the Christmas Market in the Altstadt. The flame-grilled salmon, which is said to have originated from Finland, is deeply delicious. The magic comes from slow ambient radiant heat combined with wood smoke, which yields a caramelised, slightly crispy surface while keeping the interior rich and moist.

Colosseum ROMA - Ancient Rome & Papal Rome Ancient Rome: Gladiators and Grand Amphitheatres Imagine going back 2000 years in time and space while standing on the stone floor inside a colossal amphitheatre. Amidst thousands of Roman spectators. The booms of drums reverberate as the ceremonial parade enters the stadium. After saying ‘Ave imperator; morituri te salutant’ (those who are about to die salute you) to the emperor, the gladiatorial combat begins. The crowd shouts jeers and throws their hands up in excitement.  Sixty thousand spectators? It evokes the unmistakable roar of the crowd at Eden Gardens in Calcutta while watching a thrilling cricket match.

After all, a stadium is a venue for entertainment—be it the bloodiest sport in mankind's history. And how the Romans loved watching violence and killings. Histor...
