Prompt: This week’s contest answer is a well-known, two-word app.
Answer: UBER EATS
Correct entries: 588

Six theme entries last week (yeah, that grid took a while). They were:

17-A: [Kids often bite their heads off] = GUMMI BEARS. At least that’s what we used to do.
20-A: [Scandinavians make preserves from them] = CLOUDBERRIES. Never had them but would try.
35-A: [British term for “eggplant”] = AUBERGINE. Got the relevant letters right in a row there.
41-A: [They’re used to make tzatziki] = CUCUMBERS
53-A: [M&M’s variety] = PEANUT BUTTER. Scandinavians have their cloudberries, Americans have our Peanut Butter M&M’s. We win I guess?
60-A: [Healthy sandwich] = TUNA BURGER

So we’ve got six foods, and each contains the letters U-B-E-R in sequential order, making UBER EATS our contest answer.

BarbaraK got a nudge from the Matrix:

The next thing in my inbox, next to your email, was an ad from Uber Eats.

Alex B. got a little help:

(This is one of my favorite categories of comment, solvers telling me who they solved with)

aeblo is on the board:

Just started doing these a few weeks ago, and I *think* this is the first one I got. Really enjoying it and glad I subscribed! Thanks!

5 Down made me smile! I originally spelled Gummi with a Y so took me a minute to get that one.

The title (“Search for Apps”) didn’t fool AWise:

Couldn’t tell if it would be a computer APP or a food APPetizer, given the food themers. Great work, you covered both!

And finally, Jason T thematically expresses his devotion to MGWCC:

I’m an unbearably exuberant subscriber!
