The ingredients were those specified in Chambers.

So the Thrones and Drudges caused much consternation. Neither dish actually includes toast, which is only added (as a base) if they are served as canapes! Got there in the end, but it took all week!

(V.tired at the end of tough week.)

About half way through I got BACON (BANCO) and after a fleeting search for EGGS I spotted OYSTERS (STOREYS) and then TOAST (STOAT), so I felt I knew what I was looking for. Finding PRUNES (SPURNE) I realised I was dealing with both Angels and Devils (on Horseback), confirmed by THRONES and DEMONS. But what about ‘Horseback’?

Only then did I realise that 4 of the down ‘specials’ were sitting on the other 4 down ones, and (as did Ken) tumbled to GAN, i.e. NAG backwards, with similar results.

Quite satisfying.

The PDM was staring at MURDER (which I already knew was RED RUM backwards) and DERM (which I couldn’t help seeing as MERD (pardon my French!) I then spotted that GAN was NAG backwards, thus MR ED raised his head and it was plain sailing from there.

So very well blogged, sir.

Absolutely no idea if that’s significant!

Thanks for the blog, kenmac, I too found ROSANNA the hardest clue, I think that it’s AN = before that is being used.
