Enjoyed the puzzle! But I do have a couple of nits to pick... 1-Across: The clue should be singular, since the answer - biceps - is actually singular; the plural is bicepses. (I kid you not!) 11-Across: Yes, cheese can be considered part of a charcuterie board in the U.S and U.K. But in France, charcuterie only refers to meats. Words and phrases in their original language often acquire different meanings and usages when adopted by a different language. I never understood how "entrée," meaning "first course" in French, came to mean "main course" in American English, when the word is so clearly evocative of a beginning. And plurals are often a problem in translation: for example, "panini" is already plural in Italian - the singular is "panino" - but is used as a singular in English. Oh, well...
