SHIP’S WORD WHEEL ANSWERS Clanger – A badly timed remark was said to make the ship’s bell clang. The image is of Bedfordshire Clangers, which are foot-long pastries with a handy division in the middle. One side contains the main course: a stew of meat, potatoes, and vegetables. The other is dessert: usually jam or sweetened apples. The savoury and sweet pastry began its life as a humble dumpling. [It was felt that a cartoon would be less amusing.
