sure the other one is something to do with nut but i just can't get it.
finished (well more or less) the next two of those nation crosswords. they're getting harder, but not much better. some good clues, some bad, pretty average over all. *spoiler* '44' as a definition for 'barack obama' is a real teeth-grinder.

clue starts well, but 'turnover slice raw on a muffin' is fugly, in sense and for wordplay.

Wait did you write that? Sorry if I was rude I thought it was from a newspaper.

Oh, I like the puree + gusto anag. 'raw on a m' -> manowar is nice, it's just that turnover slice that feels awkward.... umm 'add muffin top, serve raw on a turnover'?
