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!!

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?

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?!

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'!

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 )))
