PEAK? It fits CROWN and Edible - but the "K" for stress I don't understand...

How does it fit with edible?

[OriginalGriff]

Peas - despite being not made of BACON - are allegedly edible. In fact they can act as a significant part of your "five a day" requirement: a single serving of will cover you fully for many weeks if you eat each pea.

That explains it! :thumbsup: I wouldn't know about such things, I'm not a broken mech.

Nope - no vegetables were involved in this clue.

Oh... it's one of those random order clues then :sigh: EDIT: Or maybe not, as I just noticed your guess was incorrect.

I get crown and edible, but what is relevance of proper stress?

[Greg Utas]

"Payt" vs "pa-tay". You have to supply the acute accent that would be there in French.

[musefan]

Ah... clever. Distracting, but clever.
