About this word search

Fish and chips on a Friday night is a Kiwi tradition, eaten out of the paper at the beach or in the car with the windows down. A scoop of chips, a piece of hoki in batter and a potato fritter, with tomato sauce on the side, is the classic order, and every town has a favourite shop.

The grid is fourteen by fourteen, with words across, down or diagonally but never backwards. Steak and cheese is the longest at fourteen letters, a full row. Potato fritter has thirteen and fish and chips twelve, each written without spaces. Salt and hoki are only four letters long. The V of vinegar is the only V, and the K in hoki, kebab, steak and cheese, kūmara chips and takeaway is worth a look.

Bring the sheet along while you wait for your order. One person searches, the other watches the counter, and you swap when your number is called.
