The answers to today's Strands, game #507, are QUESO SALSA GUACAMOLE HUMMUS FONDUE TZATZIKI SPANGRAM: PARTY DIPS My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

The first word I saw on todays grid was SAUCE and bearing in mind the theme,
I was certain that it would be correct.

Then I remembered the UK-US chip difference in brief, Fries = Chips, Chips = Crisps, Ketchup = Sauce and deduced we were looking for things you could dip chips (or crisps) in.

There is plenty of controversy in Strands selections though, regardless of your nationality. HUMMUS is not something youd dip chips in surely or FONDUE which is famously served with cubes of bread.

Anyway, this was a fun search for interesting words. I dont think I would
have found the brilliantly spelled TZATZIKI without the help of it being my final word. Yesterday's NYT Strands answers (Tuesday, July 22, game #506)
