I had my eyebrows permanently raised a few years ago when Maltby (in Harper's) got away with an 11-letter entry that is a synonym for "poultry droppings".<br /><br />Found it. April of 2010. Clue is "Around his kitchen, cooking is really small-time (11)"<br /><br />My eyebrows are still up there.

Last one in was 17d as I had the answer from the start but didn't see the parsing until I bunged in the answer. Second last was 10a.<br />I hope you all got what you wanted for Christmas (mine was a Saturday morning C&R posted by Falcon!)<br />Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08858212077760983247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-16594772525606994112020-12-26T11:40:52.129-05:002020-12-26T11:40:52.129-05:00Cheers, puzzlers.
