A local quiz, a bit different this one. People who like puzzles might like it - and advise me of any I've missed?

Example: The paSAGE below contains quite a few hidden names of food and drink. This competition is to list all those items, but be warned, the writer has tried to hide over forTEA comestibles by hiding them in words or phrases or words that sound similar very sneaky as his MA MIGHT (marmite) say.

This is it....

Many readers will have heard of Miss Marple, who lived in Mary Mead, and investigated rum goings on around the country. although I am sure she was very well bred, I imagine her twitching her orange curtains, noting her neighbours begin to prune their hedges or appearing to walk in dappled sunlight in peaceful, selfish, contemplation.

Who would be murdered? Would it be Graham Shakespeare, BA Conservative MP, the local big cheese, on his way to the Windsor betting shop in his mint condition Rolls-Royce? Or would it be Melonie Honey, the pale, but sublime stakeholder in a revealing dress and boots from Japan, caked with sand which was evidence that she had recently been at Cheddar caves – would she get her just desserts? What’s your favourite confectionery sugar, licorice mice, be poisoned, and would she scream when the chips are down and crumbles to the floor?

I don’t want to mince words, but what if a serial killer plays cricket in the away team at curry rival and is out for a duck? He or she may go nuts and not beef about it, but may take sweet revenge!

It’s probably a trifle foolish or even crackers to teach you like this, but I was in a jam and I had an empty place on the page and I had to fill it even if I was skating on thin ice.\

Marple (apple) Mead, rum, bred (bread)orange, begin (gin), prune, selfish (fish) Graham (ham) Shakespeare's(Shakes) (pear) BA Conservative (Bacon, conserve) MP (pea) local (lo-cal) cheese, Windsor betting (sorbet) mint, Rolls, Melanie (melon) pale but (halibut?) stakeholder (steak) caked (cake) sand which (sandwich), Cheddar, desserts, confectionery, sugar, licorice, poisoned (pois/peas) scream (cream) chips, crumbles.
