VEGETABLE STEW AND FRUIT SALAD

 

 

Thanks for all your entries.  It kept me nice and busy in the first few days home recovering from my operation.

 

I didn’t specify any deadlines, so in joint first place are those who got full marks – congratulations to

 

                  LS and Helen                  

 

Runners-up – Mick and Pat with 24, closely followed by Teresa (23) and Terry (22).  Great efforts also from OC, Panikos, Amelie and Tim.

 

Among the individual questions, number 5 probably created most difficulty, while several came up with the alternative answer of ‘sloe’ to number 16:  this certainly fits the first three words of the question perfectly, but, as it ignores the remainder of the question and the alphabeticity of the answers, I decided in the end to disallow it.
