Have just finalised crossword and linked today's clues, but there appear to be two possible options to one of these. The words are ' white' and ' cabbage', with the two possible links being (1) White Cabbage (vegetable) or (2) Cabbage White (butterfly). I favour the latter, but wonder if I am correct in this assumption?

[pandabear]

doesnt matter --- both are possible

[london_lassy]

I prefer White Cabbage

[sincnoel]

i'm going for cabbage white, too

[paulineward]

I went with White Cabbage also.

[sincnoel]

panda, i agree. either answer is entirely correct and should be accepted.

My Chambers has Cabbage White but doesn't give White Cabbage so I've gone with the former

[kingfisher1]

Collins only includes "cabbage white" not "white cabbage" so I'm going with the former

Many thanks for all your views, I agree that both options should be acceptable but will side with the butterfly on this occasion, even though it causes me problems in the garden!

This is Kate Mepham all over. The general knowledge duo of saturday and monday are now riddled with semantics......
