Local Quiz: Things Hot And Cold

[joanmm]

Poach Mary, we hear (6)
Because she certainly can can-can (8)

[mazie]

2. Heatwave

Are you sure about 6 letters for the first one? I was thinking about "bain-marie".

[joanmm]

Thanks, Mazie and Cruciformist.
Heatwave fits, but I can't see the connection with can-can?

The quiz says 6 letters for the first one, could be wrong but I can't see the connection between poach and bain?

Thanks!

Hi Joan It's a song...The link is below referring to "she certainly can-can"

[Cruciformist]

Neither can I! And I can't see "can-can" either. Tough quiz, eh?

[Cruciformist]

Spot on, mazie. Well done.

[mazie]

Long shot but 1 could be coddle (ie to poach) and Mary can be found as molly in Ireland i.e Mollycoddle ??

[wilmay]

a bain marie involves cooking over a tray of water, poaching in a way

[joanmm]

Thanks, Mazie. Will pencil in coddle. Interesting!

[mazie]

It is a long shot joan....I'm not sure at all
