Agree with Serena on colour order. Not sure I would have been familiar with British pub food if I didn’t spend a semester in London. But maybe I’m the one who’s crazy - after all mad cow was going around back then. One mistake was thinking “shield” went with B

Play the puzzle: Just missed reverse. Didn’t get P since I only knew of 2 of the cups. I knew B was something football player related with the other category being a bunch of cities.

When the Y category involves kinds of rice you know it’s a tough one. G was totally lame, never heard of a Fatayer or Princes Raya, and a pasty is something a stripper wears.

Disagree with the colour order - if you’re going to talk about Brunson Burner it’s gotta be Knicks blue. As for nicknames I know KAT and Wemby.

Didn’t know Gouache, had ghost run (as in video game) in initial purple. Didn’t know vinegar in that context, getting blue resolved that for me.

Lower solve rate than yesterday.

Didn’t get P, never heard of painting with tempura before (maybe that was with Otto Fried), and hadn’t heard of the esprit use of “vinegar” - pepper seemed to make more sense here.

Didn’t get P, no idea about anyone in the blue man group, but it was pretty clear we were dealing with names and everything else.
