I do like a nice cracker with a bit of cheese, but have hardly heard of any of the types in today’s Strands, so struggled to uncover them all and needed a couple of hints. RICE and WATER I’m aware of (and have eaten), GOLDFISH I was vaguely aware of from TV and movies but SODA, OYSTER and SALTINE… nope, no experience with them. Well, I say that, but it turns out I am aware of them, I’d just never heard them called that.

Anyway, you don’t care about my eating habits, so I’ll shut up about it and simply say that if you got the rather easy spangram – which the theme clue didn’t really help with AT ALL – plus maybe one or two of the others, you’ll probably have been OK today.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
