come dine with me

[KATHLAKELAND]

I have already got some of these but not sure about the ones I have left, they are all under separate headings.

FISH
4. Part home of John Peel (5)
VEGETABLES
2. West cumbrian friend (6)
5. Revolve the beginning of home (7) I thought spinach for this but no logic why!
SWEETS
1. Citrus wedding gown (5,8)
6. Children's TV characters (7,3,7)

Any help would be appreciated, I have had
Lemon Meringue for No. 1 in sweets , I get the lemon part but not the meringue

Fish 4 ... John Peel was a farmer in Cumberland :

There is also a fish of the grayling family called an "Umber"

[Pocahontas2]

I think the trout is preferable ;O)

[KATHLAKELAND]

ok, you've all convinced me its lemon meringue
cheers

[KATHLAKELAND]

cheers pocahontas2 I think you may be right

[KATHLAKELAND]

I have just the two vegetables left thanks

[Pocahontas2]

Of the vegetables both SPINach and TURNips look promising but don't fully match the clue.

[KATHLAKELAND]

Yes pocahontas I thought that

[sara3]

no stars for me??

Vegetables 2 Possibly marrow . sounds like Marra
marra friend, companion, mate (mainly used in West Cumbria) mining slang.

Hi KathLakeland

Marra is mate (male) in West Cumbrian so your clue setter should really have written something like 'West Cumbrian friend, we hear'. = Marrow.
