Fantastic day for me.I don't know grammar of parsing clues but I can say from my view it is great solving today. Thanks ARDEN.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed doing a typical Arden puzzle- mostly bringing a smile but at times a little deviant.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a nice time on a rainy morning here in Chennai.
1AC took time. Otherwise, smooth flow.
ReplyDeleteStill searching how flesh of the animal used for food is same as animal. Am I missing something?
DeleteBeef definition includes:
DeleteAn ox or similar beast, esp. a fattened one or its carcass
Beef in Chambers has the following as one of the definitions
Deletea steer or cow, especially one fattened for butchering
Moreover the etymology for Beef is 'from French boef ox.'
Found many clues quite tough!
ReplyDelete12A,2D and 5D couldn't get. Can anyone unravdel them for me?
12A- Bone back is Rib =< BIR
ReplyDelete'Got' through- BI(GOT)R.
Y from years.
2D- refer to the link given by Col. in the main blog.
5D is a reverse T as indicated. Def. is subject.
Thanks, Padmanabhan!
ReplyDeleteLovely puzzle!Thanks Arden.
