That's my bases covered, I reckon, and to make matters worse I'd like to concur with NMS that the edible nonsenses are all cryptic defs - and very easy ones at that.

I didn't have too much bother with the nonsense clues, but struggled with some of the others and needed a little help with BOLIVIANO and PRISMATIC. It didn't help that I thought that 4D was BULL, being an oblique darts reference! On the subject of pub sports though, I noticed last night that they're now using Hawk-Eye for the snooker too!

Maybe. Anyway, I liked them and indeed the whole puzzle. Agree with you about 30 though.

Can't agree with you re the 'edible nonsense' as they're all confirmed by crossing letters and, indeed, were the highlight of the puzzle for me. And, also, as with Virgilius, puzzles don't have to be hard to be good. I thought this was a great fun puzzle by PUNK.
