Yum! Thanks for a tasty-sounding puzzle, Jay! Re: 42A: my father utterly despised this food and so I never tried it until I shared a house with an Italian friend in college. It staggered her that I did not eat what was to her a staple of cooking; nay, of life. She started me out at the beginning of the semester by covertly putting just a smidgen of it into her amazing spaghetti carbonara and by finals time I was avidly consuming several [portions] of said vegetable. It was only then that she revealed the secret ingredient. I was, and remain, a huge fan!
BTW I emitted a humorless chuckle at 41A.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Sorry, since 6D was a typo I made a snap decision (took me a nanosecond!)!Dplass wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 12:06 pmNo, I meant 30D, not 60D or 6D!DrTom wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 12:00 pm60D - man you are proactive, you must be solving next week's puzzle cause there are only 58 Down clues (either that or Bird cheated me on my printout - hey that's not FARE!
(I think you mean 6D yes? Obviously part of a different clue or earlier clue that got caught in the cut and paste shuffle.)

submitted. And hungry!
Thanks for spending time on your holiday weekend to provide us with appetizing entertainment!
I thought the typo was at 55 down but it didn't interfere with the meta.

Thanks Bird!
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

As of this morning, we have forty-four solvers, not counting anyone who I inadvertently left off the list.
. .
There were no wrong guesses, and nobody needed nudges. But since nudges are the order of the day, the day being Wednesday, I offer the following.

Off the couch without nudges. Just forgot to submit though - got distracted by the MMMM...still stuck down on a hot and lonely planet on that one.
Enjoyed the clue/answer for 52A.

Off the couch and at the Jersey shore myself. Easier to do a meta than make a meta from here - thanks Jay!

Confirmed off the couch. Would never have gotten it without the help of my daughter who recognized the elements. Thanks for a fun puzzle!

I just have to be off the couch... awaiting confirmation. I haven't looked at the nudges, but now I really want to after seeing the latest post from @Dplass!!
Confirmed, and just read the nudges. @Dplass was spot on!
