Nick	Nicey, I have just landed my aircraft this morning after a long flight back from Johannesburg. Many hours had to be whiled away as we covered the 5000 miles between South Africa and London... plenty of time for a nice cup of tea and we are always sitting down! Lo and behold, one of the cabin crew passed me a little individually wrapped biscuit with one of my many cups of tea and, being a dunker, I gave it a go. This was probably the best dunking biscuit I have ever tried and that covers a lot of ground. Quick to take up the moisture but firm enough to keep in one piece the result was a soft and delightful texture. The flavour was a lovely combination of wheat and oats with a strong coconut aftertaste and not spoiled by the altitude. The biscuit is a Biscotti home baked Italian wonder produced by Biscotti, 21 King St, Duncanville, South Africa. On a rating of 1 to 10 this has to be a 9.7 and I am renown as being a hard marker. If you or anyone in your ken knows where I might get these marvels in the UK I would be forever grateful as it may be weeks before I get back to Jo'burg. Many thanks Nick
Fern Oxley	Good day Nicey, There may be a tea recession in the UK but infact there's a *BOOOOOM* going on in Bangladesh! Check this out on the BBC Online May you live long and prosper
	Nicey replies: There are lots of nice pictures of tea in that report.
Caroline McCarthy McVities Milk Chocolate Digestive Review	Nicey, I am disturbed at the lack of representation for the plain chocolate digestive in your biscuit of the week archive - it is the unsung hero of McVities stables! Whilst its sweeter cousin milk chocolcate digestives seem to gain recognition as a supreme resident of people's hearts and minds, old plain chocolate digestive is, I propose, superior in that the mere hint of a bitter taste from the chocolate compliments the digestive base superbly, giving one a scintillating experience with one's cup of tea and a sit down. I would also recommend putting them in the fridge before eating them - that's what we do at work and we have FANTASTIC cups of tea and sit downs. Thanking you for your attention, I must be off to the fridge for my fix... Caroline McCarthy
Lesley Parker	Hello Nicey, Our house can now breathe a sigh of relief. Our cups , previously locked together, have been released! Method: Immersed them in hot water then dried and poured in a smidgin of olive oil(extra virgin). Allowed to soak in for 30 seconds. Then a knife (work canteen quality) was used as a lever to loosen the mug. At this stage a little movement allowed the introduction of wet/dry sandpaper between mug and cup. A patient 10 minutes of fiddling about and .....voila..........the mug popped out. Peace reigns, tea and biccies a cert. Lesley
	Nicey replies: All's well that ends well then.
Maureen Killip	Although I love biscuits dearly of course, I am at heart a cake person, and have just returned from a cake & beer themed holiday in Europe. I was pleasantly surprised by the availability of both decent tea & sitdowns, although biscuits were thin on the ground. However, the stunning cakes banished all thoughts of biscuits from my mind, so I thought you might like to see a pic of the truely awe inspiring Russian Cream Torte (from a lovely cafe behind the palace in Budapest). The cream was delicately infused with lemon & the mousse type filling contained rum soaked dried fruit. The memory of this cake will stay with me always... The beer was pretty good too (mmmm......Staropramen!) Enjoy Maureen Killip
	Nicey replies: That was good forward thinking to take the photo of the epic cake before eating it rather than the creamy smear on the plate after you had dispatched it. Wifey and I are big into cakes right now with lots of cake baking taking place at NCOTAASD HQ. Interestingly the last two fruit cakes have both had beer in them, an Ale cake followed by a Guinness cake. We too were minded towards a rum and fruit based job, and even bought a bottle for the purpose although Wifey has seen off quite a bit of it with coke. In fact our on-going cake activity may well spill out onto the site in some form or another.
