Nah, It's ambiguous because it has to be to make the clue work. If he meant "Vanilla with caramel topping" he would have said "Vanilla with caramel topping", but then that is entirely different clue; in that case you add the "topping" of the word caramel ie: the letters L or 'EL' to the anagram fodder, and you don't get the footballer playing in a red shirt anymore.In post 49, Leaven wrote:I would assume vanilla with caramel refers to vanilla with caramel topping, although it is a bit ambiguous and could be mistaken for vanilla with a caramel swirl.
This is exactly what I meant when I said it pinged me. Maybe "not vanilla anymore" was overstating the issue, but if Clark meant any of Vanilla with caramel topping, or Vanilla with a caramel swirl, or any other variation, there was no reason you couldn't say that. Unless, of course, he had to speicfically construct your sentence the way he did for reasons.
Interesting you would try and fudge the issue like this, though. Wouldn't happen to be Clarks' scumbuddy, would you?
