After a dip into the Medicine Makers and Purveyors section of Directory of Ankh-Morpork Merchants, Traders and Services, we give a nod to the city's three greatest culinary figures. Then we consider Harry King, and his transformation from King of the Golden River to the Disc’s first Railway Baron. Finally, we consider the speed with which Ankh-Morpork develops in the brief time between The Color of Magic and Raising Steam, and realize that really just doesn’t matter. All this, and another sausage inna bun.

This week’s contest quote: “Clear my appointments this morning, will you? I will see the Guild of Town Criers at nine o’clock and the Guild of Engravers at ten past.”
“I wasn’t aware they had appointments, sir.”
“They will have,” said Lord Vetinari.
