Mike, as a true foodie, I have never told you how much I appreciate your word choices for your samples. I even know what Uppuma and Quinoa are. Xergis and Ishtu are the only ones I'm not familiar with, can you enlighten me?

Ishtu, as I recall, means what it sounds like (almost) -- it is a stew, but I don't recall the language (Hindi?). Xergis escapes me, but I found all of these in books I had around the kitchen. I used foods and spices, because I thought everyone could relate to them.

They were also chosen to use every lower case letter at least twice, at the same time that each upper case letter was used for the 26 words.

I will see if I can find the references again, or get a definition for those two.

Do you do Acrostic puzzles? I bet you'd be good at them.

Well, yes. I used to love doing them, but it's been a couple of years. I have a book of them around somewhere. Acrostics, not crosswords.

Why do you think that?

Acrostics are much more satisfying than crosswords. I thought that because of the way you explained your system for word choices.

Interesting deduction.

I found 'Xergis'. It was in the index of 'The New Laurel's Kitchen' by Laurel Robertson, et al. It seems Xergis is a cold soup made with cucumbers, scallions and yogurt, with some spices. She says it is a 'Levantine beverage', so that tells me it comes from the the Eastern Mediterranean (Turkey, Syria, Lebanon & Israel)

The same book also had Ishtu. It's a 'South Indian dish that is almost a sauce' that is served over rice. I also found a dish (on the web) called Kozi Ishtu that was translated as Chicken Stew -- that's where I got the stew idea.

Boy, do we digress, or what??

It's called procrastination.
