    U: Urad Dahl, a sort of black lentil. I actually have some in the pantry and it's horrible. V.

    Have not seen it in Perth. Bega cheddar might be our closest to it. Glenn Baxter has an uneasy relationship with tofu.

    A-Z Of Food.

    Everything starting with K is frightening. Kale, kumquat, kohlrabi, kelp... But there's Kedgeree! L. And nobody say lemons.

    WHO/WHAT AM I

    I nearly did it the other way. Fantastic adventure: First Men in the Moon. Who got incarcerated for their safety in those days? Lunatics. Doesn't quite work unless there were astronauts in 1901, though. Anyway she wasn't a Nervous Nellie.

    I can't access MSN with my ancient browser unless I turn on all the 'permissions' options, so I don't read them. Not for lack of interest. I make up for it by reading the UK Daily Mail, which usually has one good article a day after you wade throught 50 exposés of Harry and Meagan. I used to...

    A-Z Of Food.

    Once, in a Soho restaurant when I was 12. Nobody in Oz knows about them. Eels would make good fish fingers, but I don't think they come in breadcrumbs. G? Grouse, for my pretentious grandmother. H.

    WHO/WHAT AM I

    History's marvellous, and you've given me two interesting biographies to read. Fierce whiskers were obviously compulsory. This should help: Brazil, Uruguay, Lombardy, The Papal States, Sicily... No, the French Connection was in the 1970s...

    WHO/WHAT AM I

    We fell into a word trap! I meant oratory as the skill of an orator - had no idea of the other meanings. Never a citizen of an English speaking nation. Had to check, but he did eventually become a Grandmaster. I'm surprised he had the time and I suspect it was partly honorary. (No recent history...

    WHO/WHAT AM I

    Never held a clerical office, unless you count becoming a dedicated freemason. Being a 19th century person this gives away his gender. I'm avoiding being specific about his nationality because he became a citizen of more than one country, and if i told you his professed nationality you'd guess...

    WHO/WHAT AM I

    Too far north! Maybe we just went from Spoiled for Choice to Nothing in the Shops, like after a cyclone here or the start of a soviet Five Year Plan. I am also beginning to suspect that your sense of humour is quite subtle.

    General Grant's central strategy in the US civil war was very simple - kill as many rebel soldiers as possible (within the rules of war) and a political settlement must follow. Shoigu's is almost certainly now the same, after the initial strategy of winning by intimidation failed. Nobody's going...

    Also clicking on the wrong thing to see if it still works. Oops. Yes Wittgenstein makes you think, and he doesn't! Nonsense, of course.
