Summary

Hello! Welcome to this month's edition of Answer Us Back, full of your feedback on AMTs old and new. Today: Following AMT416’s discussion of meat fondue, Amanda gives us meat fondue tips amassed from four generations of her family’s festive flesh fondue. Also apropos of AMT416, Rebekah - and several other people! - notes the existence of a 9/11 musical: Come From Away. AMT306 inspired Matt from Birmingham to try the chicken kyiv sandwich, which has comforted him during many major life events since. Chris from New Zealand wants an update on AMT376’s message from the then 38-year-old Olly to his future fortysomething self ie present day Olly. We heard from so many of you about World Book Day! Katy has a clever way to keep your kid’s costume obligations extremely light.. Joe in Minnesota sees your World Book Day and raises you the Children Pretending To Be Historical Waxworks Day of his own childhood.
