Hi Strands fans. I found this to be the easiest puzzle in a while, even if one of the answers seems entirely foreign from my side of the Atlantic!
But I'm getting ahead of myself. I immediately associated the theme - "Start the day right" - with breakfast, and the two 'G's next to each other on the top row only confirmed this, as I quickly joined up EGGS. From there, I hunted for the spangram of BREAKFAST, which came pretty quickly too, spanning from left to right across the board.
That left HASH isolated in a small container in the top left for my next word, and I was obviously on the hunt for BACON, which I duly found hidden in the bottom right. SAUSAGE and WAFFLE completed the bottom half of the board.
I must say, the final two gave me some problems. We have QUICHE in the UK, but it's definitely not a breakfast food. I'd possibly not have got this, if it weren't for the 'Q' making me go for it on a hunch.
That left only one answer to find: I connected OATMEAL and finished the puzzle.
