3 Nuts, anagram.

I cannot believe I didn't simply anagram stun! I was off on a tangent! Shortbread is genius!

Neveracrossword

21 Parsnips? Par, average and Snips, cuts

PS Glad I could help. I really hoped Shortbread was right, I liked the clue!

43 although Nuts is an anagram for stun, as there is no anagram indicator, I am wondering whether they want the answer "Mixed Nuts"
rather than just "nuts"!

Misterbean

Question Author

I think you could be right about mixed nuts, good point.

I didn't think tamales were Christmas food? I had considered that as an answer but discounted it.

Thank you all for your help, I think that just leaves number 1 to do.

Salty

Is the spelling of "whiskey" in question 1 correct? If so, rather tentatively it could be Jameson, which is an Irish whiskey developed by a Scotsman (where they spell the drink as whisky with no "e").

JJ109

26 Tamales are indeed associated with Christmas

Salty - yes, spelled as given in the quiz. Mind you, with this setter, it doesn't necessarily mean anything!

JJ109, thanks for that. I had been looking up tamale recipes but hadn't seen that.
