After a quick perusal of the comments, I didn’t see anyone else mention this, but generally speaking, a porterhouse is t-bone (but not every t-bone is a porterhouse). On a porterhouse, the filet must be at least 1.25” thick.
@KS my wife will enjoy hearing this. She’s quite literal as many of us engineers can be, and when it came time in her high school English class to discuss Watership Down, she just thought it was a nice story about rabbits.
I thought this was a fun puzzle. Came in a few minutes under my average. I enjoyed the hyphens and tire of the whining when there is anything but a vanilla puzzle. It’s the NYT crossword. There’s going to be gimmicks, tricks, and even the occasional dreaded rebus.
@Maria J A It’s a reference to Jason and the Golden Fleece, a Greek myth.
@Miss Tex I’ll keep this in mind the next time I’m submitting a paper for publication in a journal. In the context of a crossword, the answer here is fine.
@Steve the counterpart of wife is husband and I don’t know any married men who would be offended by their wives referring to them as “hubby”. I guess we’re just thicker-skinned.
I hardly ever complain about a crossword construction because I figure, if you don’t like it, go try to make your own. With that said, crossing JAKE with JAPE should be a crime against humanity.
@Robert Nailling I find that not all clues can be interpreted in the present tense.
