Setter’s notes
Sorry if any of these baffle you. And despite what some of the clues and answers might suggest, I have not been gorging on East Asian cuisine.
Across
- 1 Sounds like (“we gather”) “dried-out” = SOBER — SOBA noodles.
- 4 “Some light” = LUX (a unit of illumination) + “gold” = OR — LUXOR.
- 5 & 2 Down “Vietnamese dish” = PHO + “included” = TO BOOT, around “hot” = H — PHOTO BOOTH.
- 6 The odd letters of “SwInG tHe” — SIGH.
Down
- 1 Hidden (“eating”) in “jeSUS HIpster” — SUSHI.
- 3 “Freight” = CARGO, with the carrier’s first letter docked — ARGO, Jason’s legendary vessel.
- 4 Most of “sink” = LAPSE — LAPS, “drinks”.
