Joanna Jenkins Pan European Choc Sandwiches Review	Nicey, Great site - I like the reviews. Intrigued by the puzzle of what "Gemista" could mean, I did a quick google search and discovered that in Greek recipes it means "stuffed" (calamaria gemista = stuffed squid, avga gemista = stuffed eggs). At first I assumed it must be a description of how you'd feel if you ate them all in one go. Then I realised it might mean "filled" - a description of their sandwich construction. What do you think?
	Nicey replies: I think you're right so does, Eileen Foy and Zina Chroust who both mailed us as well.
Uncle Wilco	I would like to thank nicey and wifey for sharing their shed on www.readersheds.co.uk You can view it here. ta uncle wilco readersheds.co.uk
Jim Fussell	Nicey, Good thinking by Mike on the mug handle topic.  I would imagine that even if all six mugs had large enough handles to get the three finger hold employed, unless all handles were of a standard size there could still be stabilization problems.  I've often thought i've got a good grip of multiple mugs, only to find when I raise the mugs from the surface I get some slippage and sometimes a mug collision resulting in spillage.  This of course leads to another problem.  If all mug handles need to be the same size it will mean that some of the drinkers may not be able to use their favourite vessel.  Therefore I conclude that some sort of carrying tray may be in order in this case. Jim. PS.  Nice article in the Sunday Times magazine last week.  I particularly like the shed.
	Nicey replies: Jim, We often used to improvise a tray using the lid off a big biscuit tin. There were some nice shots of the inside of the shed showing my bench covered in Fig Rolls. Just to clear one thing up Wifey occasionally thrusts a mug of tea through the door if I'm down there doing 'real' work like mending a chair or something, and she approaches down the garden path (not pictured) rather than out of the privet hedge.
Nicky Bramley Pan European Choc Sandwiches Review	I think Bonnie Blackburn is nearly right, but it’s …. wait for it  …. uppercase gamma, lowercase epsilon, mu, iota, sigma, tau, alpha  =  Gemista. I don’t know what it means either, but then again I’m sure a Greek person would have a fine old time struggling with a a translation of “Abernethy”. Nicky
	Nicey replies: I've now put up the pack shots with the review so can all see Greek ones packet for yourselves. As for the translation of Abernethy that's simple, it's 'Mouth of the Nethy', as in the river Nethy. Named after the chap who invented them, who was named after the estuary of the river Nethy or at least his forbearers were, but we are going over old ground here.
Bonnie Blackburn Pan European Choc Sandwiches Review	Dear Nicey, Having taken Koine (Biblical) Greek for a year in high school I may be of service in this instance of The Mystery of the Greek Biscuit. Judging by your description, the word would appear to be ???????, or, if your computer isn't picking up the Greek script, uppercase gamma, lowercase epsilon, mu, iota, delta, tau, alpha. Pronounced something like "Gemidta", with hard "g" and long "i". Unfortunately, I have no idea what it means. Provided, of course, it means anything at all. Love the site. Everything I ever needed to know about tea and biscuits I learnt from NCOTAASD. Thank you for being such a fun part of our internet world. Regards, Bonnie
