Puzzle Description:

leeks

#1: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Aug 31, 2018

I was visiting a friend who loved to cook and was very good at it. She was leafing through a cookbook and suddenly started laughing and said,"Listen to this recipe for pea soup. It starts out Take two leeks......"

Better have that looked at, Brian.

I'm getting good at predicting these. So far, I've gotten 31514, 31415, and this one, 31516 correct. The palindromic 31513 stumped me, but I did not yet know it was a veggie pun. Let's see how many I'll get before finishing the puzzles and getting confirmation.

By the way, I work in a grocery store (food puns are kinda my specialty for joking around with customers), and every time I bag someone's leeks, I tell them, "Be careful," with a serious tone and a straight face, "There's a leek in the bag." For some reason, they always check the outside as if they expect to find a hole. XD

For some reason I thought of this Harry Belafonte song but I like this Sesame Street version better. https://youtu.be/MAfCQ-t7xY0

Then there's the meme from a dozen years ago: https://leekspin.com/

OK

I thought that was celery, and the soup bowl was full of stalk (stock)

I thought someone tossed their bridesmaid bouquets into the soup bowl and it was full of flower (flour).

OK. Easy solve.

I think enough time has passed that you could enhance this by adding some blue arcs at the sides of the bowl -- a leaky leek bowl....
