NYT Strands today (game #376) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #376, are…
- APPLE
- PEACH
- PECAN
- CHERRY
- PUMPKIN
- BLUEBERRY
- SPANGRAM: CLASSIC PIES
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
If you asked a British person to name some CLASSIC PIES they’d probably say ‘chicken and mushroom’ or ‘steak and kidney’, both best eaten with mashed potato. It’s not that we don’t also love pastry covering fruit, it’s just more common.
Such was my obsession with Twin Peaks that I once traveled from Seattle to the town where it was filmed – Snoqualmie in Washington State – so I could go to the Double R Diner and eat a CHERRY pie just like Agent Cooper. Except I couldn’t find the diner (it was in the next town), so I left with my craving unsatisfied.
I did buy a mug, though.
