An excellent guess Tilly! Thanks slaney, not heard that before.

[dlusman]

Thanks very much - I had thought of "PAY" , "PERCH" but couldnt think of anything to fit the last word , so had discounted it

Anyone have any ideas for the other one ?

[scorpiojo]

Only herbs I can think of are bay and rue

[Tilly2]

Thank you, slaney. I've never heard of 'chine'.

eh? When did mango sorbet become associated with Christmas? Was Rudolph spotted eating some one year?

[Tilly2]

But 'man go' fits 'he proceeds'. I was thinking 'judge'.
