New -threads today (game #456) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #456, is …
- PLUM
- CHERRY
- Beefsteak
- Heirloom
- Anniversary
- Lunch box
- Spanggram: Tomato
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 tip
I thought the “On the Wine” theme originally referred to grapes, so I started looking for sorting wine. When I didn’t find anything, I took a tip and got a plum. Then I found cherries. At this point, I thought we were looking for fruit (not that neither cherries nor plums grow on vines).
Penny – or should I say Plum – eventually fell when I saw Beefsteak and thought “it’s no fruit”. That said, two of these types of tomato were new to me as I hadn’t heard of either anniversary or lunch box.
All of this made me wonder what type of tomatoes people are throwing at each other at the annual La Tomatina festival in Spain, and the answer is a Valencian Pear-black that is overripe for extra softness. Rock up with some supermarket Cherry Toms and you will be forbidden for life.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
