... how unlike me 🤣

Fairly rapid but failed on the intersecting 19d and 20a which I've looked up
I don't get 19d -is there such a thing as cooked mayonniase and if not not what has raw got to do with it .
20a Had all the crossers for the first word but got fixated on the wrong first vowel .

Hi Loubyloo, in 19d, raw (like steak might be) is the first definition and mayonnaise dressing the second. I hadn’t heard of 20a either.

Hi Loubylou,

19d - one definition is (fish) served "raw" and the second is "mayonnaise dressing"

Thanks both . I had no idea that mayo was in that dressing .

I too am stumped by 13d Smot
All done otherrwise

For 13 think grammatical term of which first word in clue is (say) an example.

A first: all solved and parsed within the hour - a leisurely Sunday morning stroll compared the Coast-to-Coast of the last couple of weeks. Sense of achievement different too!

It's a good feeling, isn't it Carmelista:-)

Yes agreed this was definitely much less of a slog than some of the previous weeks’ ones have been. Nice start to a sunny Sunday. I did like 17a. Have a good day everyone.
