Certainly one of the easiest Dean puzzles I’ve worked, but no less entertaining for that, and flawlessly executed.

Starting with the longer answers first, I filled in most of this rapidly… until the last handful, which took almost as long as all the rest!

An entertaining exercise, as always, where tightly packed clues explode in the mind with a flash of light.

There’s a good number of that kind of clue here, along with similar ones where the parts just aren’t presented in consecutive order. A charade is usually the last thing I look for…

I felt at times that this one pushed the envelope, and am curious about the other solvers’ experiences.

I found this, comme toujours, brilliant—and its menu suggestion mouth-watering.

This one had a distinctly British flavo(u)r—as is only proper, of course. But I got along with it fairly easily. How’d y’all do?

I liked this a lot. Seven (!) anagrams, certainly not complaining about that, and I learned a new phrase, a new word, and a new English town.

My third meeting here in a row with Mr. Price, charming as ever, for this tasty treat.

This spicy treat seemed a bit easier than the last one by Mr. Price that I had the honor of blogging—just two weeks ago, so I remember!
