Pretty even competition - though I was amazed that anyone heard of the term
....

When I first saw this word all I could think of was food -- little did I
know NatGeo ran a show on it!

1. the Russian mafia. [Shefler] DQ (Morgan) 1 point
2. Persian slipper or soft shoe. [Dixon] NV nil
3. The leader of a group or movement. [Carson] 4 10 (Schultz) (Abell)

mozarella. [Barrs] DQ nil

turnips. [Weltz] 15 *16 (Bourne) (Mallach)
2 + 2 = 4
13. an atmospheric condition in which dense fog is combined with freezing
rain or snow. [Stevens] 7 *16 2 + 0 = 2
14. A Romanian dish consisting of grape leaves stuffed with barley and
chopped chicken livers. [Graham] 6 17
(Mallach) (Widdis) 2

Leaving a natural tie (4) between Millie and Efrem, it appears. Millie
Morgan, being ahead, is the loser and Dealah, and
Efrem Mallach is "da Winnah." Dick Weltz did get an unnatural 4 as well,
and a lot of folks with three points.
