Oo just got 16d by stopping thinking about it.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Thank you all!

Many thanks. I just don’t see these!

After last week's Everyman, I absolutely loved it this week, a veritable feast I thought.
If I've got 6d correct the first word is very common in the Caribbean, my Trinidadian friend used the word in conversation with me a couple of days ago, in the context of sitting around chatting.
Also my local small town cafe does a very nice 18a, so it definitely can be found over here.
Thanks for explaining 2d, and all your hints over the year. A very happy Xmas and new year to you all.

I did reasonably well on this, especially once I had spotted the theme. It was my second ever complete solve. I was helped partly by a fabulous café in my local town of Bury St Edmunds which does a delicious 18a.
But having read the early posts I am worried about my answer to 2d. My answer is also a (terrible imho) song by Fat Les. Is that correct? I can't see the rice element of the anagram. What am I missing?

MrSausagea
Yes, a song by Fat Les.
That name + "and rice" = Leonardodavinci

Hi all. Seasons greetings to everyone and, thanks also from me for all the hints and general entertainment over the past year.

@jazzgirl - could be “fizzy” in its old age!

Almost done but can’t figure out 8A or 4D, despite the crossers.

hi barryc
8 a is a drink, whizzed in a blender
4d is a Greek dish made with lamb etc.

Thanks, Jazzgirl - last two done.
All the best,
Barry (bassman)

Thanks Quisling!
