Comments on the clue
1.Surprising that neither this entrant nor any other exploited the well-known VINDALOO AND RICE = LEONARDO DA VINCI anagram.
2.I think 'one' = I in a composite anagram is a stretch. This was still pretty good, but there are better composite anags in this list.
3.Nice comp. anag., but missed Leonardo da Vinci!
4.Clever comp anag fodder, but would one really drool?
5.Not bad – definition a bit vague
6.I wonder if the creator of this considered "Leonardo da Vinci" as the anagram fodder – and maybe declined as I think it's quite a known one.
