WIDOW TWANKEY

Those Americans who watched Hercules, the Legendary Journeys  on television may have wondered where this character, played by Michael Hurst came from.




In English pantomime versions of Aladdin, performed around Christmas, this was the name given to Aladdin's mother.  She was the pantomime Dame and as such was played by a man.  The name Twankey was applied to a kind of tea, named after the region where it was grown (Tungxi).  This particular brand is green tea.  The name Widow Twankey appears in 1861.
