As somebody who is always “a bit peckish”, this search could have been for everything from chips to fruit salad to Turkish banquet.

I managed to navigate the board fairly easily, struggling only over the combination of NECTAR and SEEDS – and I was also thrilled to spy a rare eight-letter non-game word.
