Good one! However, I did not get them.
GREAT teaser!!! Got 3/4 quitty prickly, and I was oh-so-close on the last one: had "(blank) sauce/(blank) cross" and I was thinking "cream" for the 1st blank, but "seam" didn't work for the 2nd one, and I didn't know the word "seamy." Oh, well. Live and learn!
THESE WERE REALLY FUN AND HARD THOUGH.
