The answers to today's Strands, game #586, are RAGOUT CHILI GUMBO STEW JAMBALAYA TAGINE GOULASH SPANGRAM: ONEPOT My rating: Hard My score: Perfect

Im pretty pleased that I got through todays search without resorting to a hint, as it contained some tricky words several of which I only knew from
The Carpenters' song Jambalaya (On The Bayou) Crawfish Pie being notable by its absence.

My initial thought in connection with the pun Im a ladle hungry was soup, but after spotting RAGOUT I knew we were searching for something a little more substantial; soup is hardly the kind of thing you need if youre hungry.

It took me two goes to get CHILI, as I picked out the L and I in the wrong order, but that minor hitch aside I navigated this tricky game without a hiccup, which is something I always suffer from when I eat a chili!
