mc5 - AVMA Take 2

[CdM] Blighty? - YES, primarily, the AOTC is anyway.

Is it an activity, i.e. something that one does?

[Phil] Out and about? - YES and NO, perhaps is the best answer.

Is the AOTC a present participle?

as "yes and no" isn't a very useful answer :)

[Phil] Grammatical? NO The AOTC has 3 words none of which are the definite or indefinite article. Hint: When the question was set it was in the future, now it is in the past.

Does the AOTC define/describe a period of time?

The August Bank Holiday Weekend?

[Phil] Time slot? - YES
[GL] August Bank Holiday - YES!

Hurrah! * hands over Brighton rock shaped sticky baton to GL at last *

Well, that took a pointlessly long time. So, a simple ANIMAL this time.

Is it human?

[Software] were the mineral and vegetable connections the bank?

[Phil] - Human? YES have a baton. (I said it was easy)

Hahaha! Why thank you, GL!

A comment

Rosie's question "Does it need to be cooked?" continues to weigh on my mind. No Anglophone would say that they cook the Answer on the Card, but cooking of some sort or other is involved in the process of turning naturally occurring ingredients into the AOTC.

Is it a salad of some sort?

Weirdly enough .. the cooking thing .. was the one reply which has completely thrown my train of thought ...

A biscuit of some kind?

[Chalky] Salady? NO
[Rosie] Biscuity? NO

Butter?

Custard?

[Chalky] Butter? NO
[GL] Custard? NO

OH NO !!!!!

I've just reviewed my answers and noticed that when Chalky asked "Is it an animal product", I said "YES". I should specify that only the animal part is an animal product, the vegetable part isn't. Hope that helps ! :-)

PANIC OVER!!!

[Phil] Fret ye not - that's what I meant.
In summary: The AOTC is 'Animal Product' plus a 'Vegetable' (but not a vegetable to be found in a greengrocer) somehow linked together. Edible/Potable. Doesn't need to be cooked. Milk is involved.
I'll now ask a question, if I may ...

Is there an alcoholic content to this?

[Chalky] Alcoholic? NO

A bit more summary

One would not "cook" the AOTC but some form of "cooking" is involved at some point in creating the AOTC from naturally occurring ingredients.

Is yeast involved?

[Phil] Thanks - I was thinking fermentation - hence the alcohol question.

[Chalky] Yeast? NO
