You'd have thought that producing a replica that did sell fast food would be a winner there

Nice to see that I chose a suitable colour scheme for my geese going by those murals.

Tradition has it that the use of pictures outside an establishment was to give largely illiterate customers an idea of what was on sale, something still maintained by pawnbrokers and pubs.  On that basis, this place appears to have included horsemeat burgers amongst its culinary delights.

Though I presume the dog was more "Cave Canem" than food stuff.  At least I hope so.

[Imperial Dave]

Well.......

I found this close up of the dog



Menacing.  For basically advertising art in a bar, the painter had some style.

[Nick Harbud]

You mean the horse was a dog???

Oh, the thought of that has quite spoiled my lunch.  It is just too reminiscent of visits to low-end curry houses.

Perhaps a hot dog?
