Cryptic food and drink

[Wyshiepoo]

OK - more clues/explanation:

Its an anagram of 'MT' and a word meaning 'enclose'. The answer begins with C and ends with T and is a well known cheese. Its funny, because I set this one to see how feasible it was to solve without a definition part in the clue - but no-one could solve it even when I gave the definition!

C _ _ _ _ _ _ _ T



Not sure what you mean?

Ah. Now I get it. I could kick myself. I just couldn't think of the correct synonym.

As for the other point I was only half serious, have a thread where we choose a crossword, solve it together and update the thread regularly with pics of the crossword.

Oh I see - not sure that would work somehow due to time lags between people logging in. However - the Guardian cryptic is published on-line every day so we could have a thread trying to solve it. I'll start a new thread. The Guardian Cryptic Crossword (30th June)

To update - the current unsolved clue is:

Falsely enclose Montana (9)

I've given the definition above - its a cheese. It may be a bad clue - I was trying to test out what was possible or acceptable.

Finally got this one with your clues Morning Glory

Keeping to the fishy theme, try this one:

Warning light at sea for fish (5)

Yay! And this one.

Having failed miserably at the Guardian cryptic crossword(s) over the last few days I go back to setting. This is, I hope, straightforward:

Drag back vessel inside to get fish (7)

I thought this was easy! Nobody?

I thought this was easy! Nobody?

I did try. I'll have another bash.

Doh!
Couldn't see it the other day when I looked. Got it instantly today.

Actually a very underrated fish. Delicious if you remove the head and innards which leaves a pocket you can stuff. Firm white flesh.

Sounds like what my 2nd wife lawyer did to me.

I don't think I ever had it but a new fishmonger in Saffron Walden (I was staying with a friend) recommended it to me just before lockdown started. He said it was his favourite fish. Isn't it a bit 'boney' as in lots of small bones?

No, not that I recall, been a few years since I've had one. It might be different if you fillet it but I normally cook them whole apart from head and innards. That way the flesh falls off the bone.

Nothing to do with food, but I had to laugh at this one from Paul in today's Guardian. He comes out with some crackers.

Royal couple aren't faithful (9)

Today's Guardian cryptic is all about food, drink and cooking. It took us a while to get going, but once we'd spotted that theme, it was fairly straightforward.
