    Great way to start my Sunday morning. Thanks, Will!
    • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword constructor · 2023-03-12T15:47:11.748Z
      Thanks, Cindy! And congrats on the top spot this week - quite a speedy solve!
    • Byron 🤓13:26 · 2023-03-12T13:45:50.585Z
      I'm no expert, but I think this was Easy. Good fill!
    • Shalaka 🤓14:25 · 2023-03-12T13:48:15.006Z
      Yum!
      • wendy walker 3s · 2023-03-12T13:42:47.292Z
        Oh, please: there is no hiding BACON from me. Thank you, Will!
      • rickybillingsgate 6:30 · 2023-03-12T13:55:25.591Z
        I am unfamiliar with this food item but extrapolated from other bacon-wrapped food items. It's too early in the day for me to try to spell... Party snack.
        • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword constructor · 2023-03-12T15:51:55.872Z
          If I'm being honest, I was also unfamiliar with this food before this puzzle. I really wanted bacon-wrapped shrimp or scallops for the meta answer, but could not find a good phrase for the S.
          • Chaddog 3s · 2023-03-12T18:15:34.218Z
            A spicy evening in the bayou? TABASCO NIGHT. And it's food -related 😁
            • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword constructor · 2023-03-13T03:51:52.231Z
              I spent a LONG time on Tabasco's website and Wikipedia page praying that they had once made a flavor that started with N. No such luck...
        • boharr 4s · 2023-03-12T14:26:12.253Z
          Fun. Now ready to eat. Thanks.
          • Mwoychick 🤓14:07 · 2023-03-12T14:38:35.494Z
            Fun puzzle - saw onion first, then bacon...then bacon again and again - should have known: it's all about the bacon! Thanks for the puzzle!
            • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword constructor · 2023-03-12T15:52:16.110Z
              Glad you brought home the bacon!! Nice work, Mark!
              • damefox 🤓2:57 · 2023-03-12T17:02:15.224Z
                I told Will in the editing process this puzzle felt like some sort of exercise in subliminal messaging: "bacon bacon bacon bacon give me bacon."
              • DIS 🤓5:53 · 2023-03-12T14:12:23.887Z
                Impressive! How long did it take you to find the theme entries?
                • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword constructor · 2023-03-12T15:54:25.870Z
                  Not too long! Spent a little while floundering while trying to find a phrase that gave me an S for shrimp or scallop. But once I moved on to DATE, things went pretty quickly. OneLook gave me 3 of the theme entries, just using wildcard searches. Then, I searched Google for "BARBACOA N" to see what dishes started with N that might help me finish the theme set.
                • LB800 3s · 2023-03-12T14:32:08.670Z
                  Threw up in my mouth a little but the meta was fun! :)
                  • Qmark 3s · 2023-03-12T14:45:05.337Z
                    Never heard of this appetizer...but I think I'll try it now! Thanks Will!
                    • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword constructor · 2023-03-12T15:54:43.718Z
                      Please do - and let me know whether I should try it too!
                      • AaronT 2s · 2023-03-12T18:12:25.732Z
                        You absolutely should. They’re great!

                        About to board an hors d'oeuvre-laden cruise, thanks for the appetizer!
                        • I K Snamhcok 1s · 2023-03-12T15:27:22.614Z
                          I googled “bacon wrapped date” to see if there’s another name for it. I found “Devils on Horseback”. Seriously! I submitted that first. Incorrect! Which I was happy about, because, come on. “Devils on Horseback”? That’s just wrong. 🙂
                          • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword constructor · 2023-03-12T17:02:59.469Z
                            Glad you were able to get back on track! Wasn't trying to trick anyone with funny names - just looking for the most literal description of the mechanism!
                            • Abide 31:39 · 2023-03-12T18:50:18.102Z
                              I did the same, but without Google. That's what we've always called it. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/215385/devils-on-horseback/ Bacon-wrapped oysters are Angels on Horseback.
                              • woozy 13:09 · 2023-03-13T06:03:04.835Z
                                No google. Devils on Horseback. One of my favorites. What's wrong about it?
                                Actually. I've never heard them referred to as "bacon wrapped dates".

                                      Now that's a first date to remember

                                      Thanks, Will. I've never heard of these, but now I wanna try one.

                                          lol saw the bacons before finishing the puzzle, but then submitted just date and then just wrapped date and then the answer (in fairly quick succession). Fun stuff, thanks.

                                              Not a hors d'oeuvre I'll ever have, but I can see how they probably taste great. Thanks for the puzzle!

                                                        Got the metanism after only one theme entry, but needed the second one to confirm.

                                                                For everyone who has never heard of this hors d'oeuvre, it's pretty common in tapas restaurants. Hits that perfect combination of sweet and savory.
                                                                • DrTom 4s · 2023-03-13T05:18:47.365Z

She said it was a rash thing to do, but I said it was actually rasher! I just kept egging her on and tried not to waffle. It didn't last; when we got home she said I was toast.
                                                                  Thanks for the puzzle Will.
