ReplyDeleteAJ - thank u for an enjoyable but tough grid. Got all except SURIMI (didnt know this)in under 50 minutes. Many clues were nrain teasers. 😊

ReplyDeleteI am glad that you could make it Gowri. I am myself not very happy about surimi. After sending the grid, I felt I could have clued it differently.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gowri for finding time for the grid.
