My favourites, with good, misleading surfaces, were 61 and 35
Several clues just missed points:
14 seemed to define PALSAVER
18 "chopped pear" could be PE-AR, but PA-ER is more like "chopped and shaken pear"
27 what a pity O and S weren't adjacent in OPALSAVER
36 "precious stone" is needed only for the surface
50 A great spot, but too difficult for me to solve (without the hints) |
