I'm sure someone will know the answer - well, you've helped with tricky cryptic quiz questions before . . . any ideas for "Eaten with a pin" (10) and "At the World cup, a horn droned. Do you like it in pieces" (12). Thanks!!

Oh Shirley, how ditsy of me! Yes, the answers are plant names. Thanks.

Ha ha, Sheila, easily forgotten! How about Corn Cockle (eaten with a pin) ?

Or even peri winkle eaten with a pin?

That sounds more like the right answer, Dorjac, well done!

Thank you Dorjac and Shirley . . . OH and I did 100 clues separately, and HE has Corncockle and I have Periwinkle, so still not sure.
Shirley, after you'd mentioned Vuvuzela, I thought about Azalea, then Googled "types of Azalea" and OF COURSE - "Rhododendron" is an anagram of "horn droned do" . . ooh, obscure or what?!
10 Feb, 2011
Very obscure ... I doubt I'd have got that one ... I would choose Periwinkle as Winkles come to mind for eating with a pin rather than Cockles ... congratulations on finding the other 98 ! : o )

If it did not have 11 letters 'Eaten with a pin' to me would be 'pomegranate'!
10 Feb, 2011
pomegranates are eaten with a pin, or at least that is how I used to eat the on the rare occasions when we got them as kids.

Thanks all. And Shirley - we solved the other 98 with a little help from our friends . . . a lot of fun. :)

Well done! : o )))

Hi Sheila, the World Cup horns were those awful Vuvuzela things! Going off to think about these over a coffee, back soon, hopefully! I assume they're plant names?
