Cryptic food and drink

[Morning Glory]

We have lapsed. Its your turn @Duck. I need a bit of brain exercise...

 

[Duck59]

A very brief and easy one.

Ban this awful drink! (7)

Said to make you go blind...

Folklore says this about certain activities.

Meanwhile, The Mallard Tavern has still not got round to trying out the Adnams Oyster Stout. This is largely because of the intervention of the splendid Yeovil Ales brewery, which offered us a discount that was much too good to turn down. We now have both Yeovil and Adnams beer to contemplate, including a stout from both.

Late news: the regulars at The Mallard have just agreed that the Oyster Stout should get an airing this evening.

A similarly easy one I believe. I feel sure someone must have written it already - but I came up with it all on my own.

Sums altered to conceal original salary (4)

A substance I avoid. The only reason we have any in the kitchen is because I had to use some when I had a tooth extracted.

The Oyster Stout proved to be outstanding, resulting in long queues.

Why do you avoid it?

 

[Duck59]

I don't like it. Besides, every bit of processed food is overladen with the stuff, not that I eat much processed stuff.

More meaty French stuff (can also end with a y, apparently). I was looking at the anagram and came up with Uganda Slim, who sounds like an African hip-hop artist.

The question travelling around the corridors a week or so ago was, "Has the Cryptic Food and Drink thread jumped the shark?" I say categorically not.

I was contributing some little quiz questions to a newsletter and one part of them involved the following ten cryptic clues, the theme of which will be immediately obvious. So, here they are:

Fish needs to be paid for on arrival (3)
Owned jetty for fish (7)
Fish on woman's finger (7)
Sarah takes half the day to get fish (6)
I go into venue for the fish (6)
Surrealist routine includes fish (5)
Throw back head and eat fish (7)
Messily cram leek with fish (8)
1980s hairstyle for fish? (6)
Land fish (5)

No prizes on offer, merely that warm glow of satisfaction from getting the answers.

 

[Morning Glory]

I have all but 4.

Haven't (yet) got Nos. 2, 4, 7, 10.

 

[Duck59]

All the remaining ones are common species, so there's no sneakily obscure ones like feather-fin black ghosts or anything.
