Answer Us Back: Nelly Tagliatelle

Every edition of Answer Us Back features your responses to/observations upon previous episodes of AMT, some of them many many years old - but today's episode is packed to the rafters with what you had to say about our most recent episode, AMT419! Detta has baked a version of the Tom Cruise coconut-white chocolate bundt cake - "A lot of faff, but worth it." Anonymous from the Allusioverse has actually eaten a cake gifted by Tom Cruise! Not the coconut bundt though - a lemon one, strong enough to taste "remarkably like having your taste buds bashed out". Mmm, great. A different Anonymous writes about the practice of film stars buying end-of-shoot gifts for all the crewmembers. Alastair in Kilmarnock gives some fun Scottish examples of stadiums being corporately renamed... ...and Mark tells us some of the creative approaches that stadiums have taken to cover up their usual corporate logos during the World Cup. Meagan in Oakland CA wonders when, if ever, it would be OK to wear her Houston Astros shirt from 25ish years ago which has the Enron logo on it? On the topic of which fun British vegetables Dan in Pennsylvania could grow on his farm, Emily in Canada is screaming, "King Edward potatoes!!!" Dan himself writes back, noting the ladybird fu**fest that was mentioned in AMT419. As well as buying ladybirds to sort out her garden's aphids, Isabel treats herself to a few praying mantis egg sacs, to enjoy a miniature horror show when they hatch. And Erica responds to the previous Answer Us Back, where we mused upon the potential disappointment of seeing one of us audio podcasters in the flesh.
