Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

In today's crossword puzzle, the clue "Fish served up on top of king-size vegetable" corresponds to the answer "LEEK." Let's break down why this answer fits the clue:

1. Fish served up: The word "Fish" can be represented by the letters L-E-E. When we say "served up," it indicates a reversal of the letters. Reversing this gives us E-E-L, which spells "eel," a type of fish.
2. On top of: "On top of" is a common indicator that one word should be placed above another. In this case, "eel" is placed above the next part of the answer.
3. King-size vegetable: The phrase "king-size" often implies something large. A vegetable that fits this description is the "LEEK," which is a large vegetable commonly used in cooking.

Therefore, combining the reversed "eel" (fish) with the "king-size vegetable," we arrive at the answer "LEEK." The clue cleverly leads us to think about a fish (eel) placed on top of a large vegetable, ultimately hinting at the answer.
