Cryptic hot dogs

◆◆ · Por ConManAU · Publicado 2024-06-26T12:47:51.914Z

I started constructing this in November last year, but a variety of factors resulted in it only being completed just now. This is probably on the trickier side of my cryptics, but it's got a couple of clues I'm quite happy with. Don't worry too much about the title, although if you think you know what it's talking about go ahead and say something in the comments.

    I certainly do like a bunch of these clues: 6A, 9A, 13A, 15A, 21A, 8D. Some thoughts on other clues:
    • 1A: I love the use of [spirits] here, but I think there might be overlap between the way you're using it in the cryptic and definitional sense.
    • 2D: You've got [he] in the surface it's crossing HE+RO+IS+M, which is an unideal situation.
    • 14D: I like the cheekiness of [yes? No] as a deletion indicator, but I think it's probably grammatically wrong. (I'd be more inclined to accept [No? Yes].
    • 18D: I think I'm missing the parse on this? R(UM(I+N))ANT? Shouldn't it be UN for an international body?
    • 26D: I think this is getting at [bull] as in PAPAL bull, and I see it's in the dictionary alone, but it feels slightly unfair? Might just be me.
    • 25A: Tough parse! I really like what [placed in X frame] is doing! That said, [Painting] alone as a definition seems a bit off.
    • 28A: Funny! I wish the surface were a little cleaner; [truck and storage] seems arbitrary. [Hid between], like [placed in X frame] is another nice indicator for the surface.
    • 30A: I think this is S(T)EEP for [Bluff], but is SEEP = [well]?
    Thanks for the full-sized challenge!

      Oof, I think you're right about 18D, not sure how I missed that! Thanks for all the feedback, there's always room for improvement but I'm glad you enjoyed it so much :D On 30A, you're correct on both counts, and those are valid definitions.
