h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'll beware of ANYONE carrying a horse unless it's a baby and they are a vet!

At the very least they'll be stupid...

They all have a street named after them in Paris?

Do they, toybox?

(Not that you're remotely close )

Well, there is a 'rue de Venise' and a 'rue d'Athènes'. I don't know about the Jersey tradition, and for my grandma's kitchen you said 'possibly' (so I must inform you that there doesn't appear to be one).

Let me think for a moment..........

I know Venice is famous for making glass, and Jersey is famous for knitting.......

Does Jersey make glass???

Does Venice make knitted goods???

I can possibly link Jersey and Venice, but where Grannie's kitchen comes into the equation puddles me!!




GT

I'll go over this one tomorrow again.

Venetian blinds...?

Washing machine manglers...?

~jwf~

Does Grannies kitchen cntain some antique Venetian glass???




GT

There's nobody close to getting the correct answer, yet. So far in Venice and Jersey, and Greece and Granny's kitchen we have:

1. a medical connection

2. a linguistic aspect

3. a nice smell.

Clue: Each of the above comes from a different one of the places.

GT: DGI for something Venice was famous for making - but it's not famous for it now.

are they famous for things that dont come from there originally

jersey potatos....spuds are native to america

venetian blinds

greek urn....amforra were used all over the med

all your garnnys recipies were her grannys before that

not sure how this relates to your three things outlined above, but I think Venice used to be famous for lace.

Jersey lace rings a bell aswell, but i have a horrible klaxonish feeling! please be gentle!

This medical connection, anything to do with glasses? 17th century is telescope-time, so i'd imagine there could be crossover into this field?

Perfume - lavendar?

Or even lavender.

Used as a medicinal herb
Grannies smell of it
Tradition of making perfume from it in Jersey
The greeks called it spikenard
All those venetian glass perfume bottles must have had something in them....perfume anyone?

Venice---Lace perhapse????

Grannie---a distinctive smell.....

Used in cooking...Must be Garlic!!!!

Grannie wears lace, and cooks using Garlic....

Any closer???

GT

Oh, and do not forget the Olive Oil, which must come into te equation somewhere!!!




GT

ok, random gusses now.
Jersais tradition = crapaud?
Or maybe something to do with the spice trade?

is this thread dead King Bomba, I would like to know the answer?!
