While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. ๐
The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

Oh, it's charcoal?
If so, it would break down as:
Char = fish (Arctic char, which I've never tasted, but its taste is supposedly somewhere between trout and salmon - yum!)
coal = rock
for tasty chicken = chicken barbecued on charcoal for that authentic delicious flavour...?
You definitely fooled me with "fish on the rock".
Now I'm hungry for fish. I haven't had dinner yet (busy day); I think I'll fry some trout with saffron and cumin, and it's all your fault, twyngwyn.
