Ademola Lookman was the hero for Atalanta as his hat-trick secured a 3-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final in Dublin on Wednesday, ending the Italian side’s 61-year wait for a major trophy. Lookman, who revived his career in Italy after struggling in the English Premier League, scored twice in the first 26 minutes to put Atalanta in control. His first came from a well-worked move down the right, with Davide Zappacosta given too much space to pick out the striker, who applied a composed finish.

For example, bear paw soup is considered a delicacy in many Asian and European countries, and dishes like ‘civet de chevreuil’ (venison) and ‘lapin a la moutarde’ (rabbit cooked in mustard) are popular in European cuisines. Similarly, rabbits, which are adored as domestic pets worldwide, are also consumed as food in many places. The author questions the Western perspective on fish, noting the oddity of diners requesting the removal of the head before plating. In contrast, some cultures relish dishes like grilled pig’s rectum...
