After all, if there were any logic to their omissions this thread wouldn’t exist :wink:

Yes, but not fanfiction…is this meant to be a hyphenated word, or two separate words?

I can’t remember if it’s been mentioned (and don’t know if the search function catches blurred words?), but chana wasn’t included today.

chineat least a food -adjacent word. Butchers evidently have no imput.
