NYT Strands today (game #326) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #326, are…
- MILK
- BUTTER
- CHEESE
- GELATO
- CUSTARD
- YOGURT
- SPANGRAM: DAIRY PRODUCTS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Being lactose intolerant and also, despite this condition, a turophile, I found today’s Strands enjoyable but, much like my beloved cheese, hard to stomach.
I put my diminutive stature down to a dislike of creamy creations, as height and milk protein have been shown to be linked. Researchers have attributed an obsession with DAIRY PRODUCTS as the reason why people from the Netherlands are better at reaching things on high shelves than any other nation in the world. In a year the average Dutch person consumes over 25% more CHEESE and other milk-based products than their American or British counterparts and this has resulted in a growth spurt over the past century, taking the Dutch from the shortest people in Europe to the tallest – the average Dutchman is more than 6ft tall and the average Dutch woman about 5ft 7in.
Anyway, a lovely easy Strands with a tasty subject matter.
