ReplyDeleteEven bits of nuts - U S
lime bananas - lime* - MELI
Def: a breakfast dish (made up with even bits of nuts, lime, bananas) - MUESLI* &lit - a breakfast cereal based on uncooked rolled oats, fruit and nuts
Very nicely clued. However, the need for comma after bananas is not clear.
Thank you Venkatesh.Though I filled in Muesli,I was not sure of the anno.
ReplyDeleteBolas was new,but was nicely explained by Col.'s picture and cation.
Oh, Nuts!! Meusli? Has this compiler had NJ at a breakfast session? Find a word, fill it in and create a clue and leave it to the solver to figure it out? I went bananas. I had a lousy breafast this sunday.
