I’m sure that many of you figured it out on your own, and kudos to you for that. This is an Erik Agard puzzle, so nothing’s out of bounds, and after last week’s bioengineering my poor brain saw “Engineering” again and just went haywire, I guess. Speaking of the intro, let’s talk turkey:“When this puzzle is finished, change one letter in the last word in the answer to each asterisked clue to name a food. I don’t watch “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” so I don’t know who AMY is, and I didn’t get the “odi”/AMO opposing relationship (one of those know-it-when-you-see-it entries — think “odious” versus “amorous”). As a whole, this double Agard felt like a double Agard, slick and fizzy and blissfully low on the frustrato-meter.
