India would be an easy country to be a vegetarian in.įrustrated not to get happy music. If you say “non-veg” you’ll get nothing but meat dishes. When I went there, an Indian work colleague in Bangalore invited me to dinner at his house and asked if I preferred “veg” or non-veg.” I wanted to say a mix, but that’s not an option. I knew right away that INDIA would be the country with the highest percentage of vegetarians. It’s a shot taken with the head, so I say “Goal!!” And sorry, Clare, but I liked the misdirection on the SOCCER clue even if “head shot” isn’t what people call it. “Tongue but not cheek” and “Make oneself heard in a herd” are nice clues for CHEEK and LOW. Although he’d probably say, “I’m sorry if you took offense, Othello.” And of course, the final themer was quite appropriate. SORRY OTHELLO made me smile, thinking of the villain just sort of shrugging at the bloodbath he caused. The themers are nice, with WAR OPERATION a little less satisfying than the others because it’s a little green paintish. Have a diagonal day-moving up and to the right.
And it makes me think of Couscous and Cuckoo clocks, which appear to be advertised as Coo-coo clocks on some websites.) Other than the way they used wordplay with game titles, I don't consider the theme clues/answers "punny," especially not MONOPOLY RISK, which is literally an Antitrust concern-no "?" needed.ĬOOS (Beginning in the extreme SW corner, in the 65A square, and moving diagonally to the NE, you get this excellent string of letters: Speaking of the upper region of the grid, that awkward tiny AREA in the North Central was big enough to be home to two AREAs (7D and a diagonal AREA that connects at the E). I had the first part, but wasn't seeing the latter part in my first trip through the North. Signed, Clare Carroll, a fan of (real) footballĮnjoyable puzzle like others I didn't grasp the "pair of games" device until I was mostly done, but it did help me finish off WAR OPERATION.
In my soccer carpool when I was younger, there were five of us who had to find a way to entertain ourselves during the 30-minute drive to practice - and back - so we would bring Nintendo DSs and play, primarily, Super Mario Bros against each other.The show is mainly about baking, but I still feel tempted to now try all of these supposed 100 ways to cook an EGG ( 11D).
I recently got into watching “The Great British Bake Off” and am mildly obsessed.(You can watch it here.) Seeing Elmo that unhinged was hilarious. Seeing Bert and ERNIE ( 51D) in the puzzle reminded me of the moment that went viral on Twitter last week between Elmo and Zoe over Rocco.The fill of the puzzle was mostly clean (not a ton of crosswordese), and the theme just didn’t leave a lot of room for many fun non-theme answers because of how much space it took up. I know that all sounds like a lot of gripes, and I suppose it is, but I did enjoy the puzzle - almost entirely because I thought the theme was clever.
