It’s a curious thing that so many food words are often terms of ENDEARMENTS. I guess it demonstrates how central to our lives tasty treats are. But that said, I don’t think I’ve ever called anyone BEAN, and I’m pretty sure if I called my other half a DUMPLING I’d get punched.
Fortunately, solving the Strands puzzle didn’t put me in any such danger, with PUMPKIN, BEAN and MUFFIN all jumping out early on. That gave me a nice path across the board for the spangram, and the other words followed with no drama.
