The answers to today's Strands, game #182, are…

  • RICE
  • AVOCADO
  • SEAWEED
  • MAYO
  • CUCUMBER
  • CRAB
  • SPANGRAM: CALIFORNIAROLL

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

I hate this Strands. Not the puzzle itself – which is just about fine. But CALIFORNIAROLL, which is a disgusting concoction simply because it contains MAYO. Mayo is one of the worst things ever – not just a terrible food, but a plague on society, because IT IS USED IN ALMOST EVERYTHING AND I HATE IT. Listen, you don't need mayo in things. It doesn't make it better. In fact, it spoils it. Just leave it out and taste the actual ingredients rather than smearing this horrible stuff everywhere. Especially in sushi, which doesn't need it at all.

Oh yeah, so there's a game to talk about here too, right? Well it's a reasonably easy one on account of the spangram taking up about half of the board. Most of the answers are relatively easy to find, and if you like mayo then I'm sure you'll be delighted with the whole thing.
