Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

Indeed, PMs have been exchanged but sadly only about recipes I am now the proud possessor of an exclusive Cali receipt for pasta, smoked salmon and basil which will grace my table on Christmas Eve whilst the very same dish will be served at Chateau Calabrese at exactly the same time. So, that's rather romantic is it not?

There has also been talk of ballotines and savoury foam...

Indeed - but it was all talk wasn't it?

Edit: as I only switched on 5 mins ago, have we solved Flay's to our mutual satisfaction or do I reach for the Dr. J. Collis Browne again? Do we have a new puzzle or have I missed something.

That's internet romance for you!

Anyway - that's the end of this episode of Association Street (cue lugubrious brass band music)... this isn't any way to make a sailor a new pair of trousers (as my grandmother used to opine, puzzlingly)

Where are we? Ah yes - High: Delius, Denver; and Pizzetti ("alti")... and an I to come from ferns?

I'm afraid I don't know the work of this Piano Trio.

... I was thinking it might be time to ask for some coleslaw.

But I suspect I will also have to proffer a time-honoured harrumph - who is this popular teen beat combo??

D'you know, I thought of you when I typed out the clue: "He's not going to like this!" I thought.

I have tingling inklings ...it's a bit like "you say tomato and I say potato" innit?

Problem is, Ferney, folks here are too busy writing cards, getting involved with tinsel and glitter balls and boiling turkey gizzards for stock to be interested in your very interesting puzzle!

Yes; me,too. No rush - but I'm out tomorrow until late afternoon/early evening, so sometime today would be useful!
