21 October - Solution for the last clue and the next cryptic crossword clue



Pancake left in container next to one (5)

Solution – blini

All you foodies out there know that a blini is a little thin pancake.  Lovely with smoked salmon, sour cream and dill!  Ooops, back to the solution.

You get to blini, also, by figuring out the rest of the clue

Left = l

Container = bin

You put the l into bin (because it says "in") and then put it next to i for one – b + l +in + i = blini



Today’s cryptic crossword clue solution tomorrow


Royal Engineers, posted, feel aggrieved (6)
Source of clue – NZ Herald

Hint - thanks to a great suggestion from Peggy Ann I am going to include a small hint for you - today's hint is that this clue is a charades one that also includes an abbreviation.  The clue is in 2 parts with the split being after "posted".
