nut roast
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: nut roasts
Senses: examples: text: It's a shame; not only are nuts quite ridiculously nutritious but, as anyone who's ever shelled out (sorry) for a tiny glass of pistachios in a pub will know, they're a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. But although I happen to have a soft spot for nut roast – an option often preferable to the meat that emerged from the school kitchen – it seems I'm in a cranky minority. A request for recipe recommendations was met with a polite silence on Twitter: vegetarianism, apparently, has moved on a bit. You don't see Yotam Ottolenghi faffing about with nut roasts, do you? But I'm determined to revive the fortunes of this much-maligned classic. After all, Christmas isn't Christmas without a luxury nut selection.
ref: 2011 December 15, Felicity Cloake, “How to cook the perfect nut roast”, in Guardian:

parsnippy
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Forms: form: more parsnippy
form: most parsnippy
Etymology: From parsnip + -y.
Senses: examples: text: The parsnip, stilton and chestnut combination may taste good, but it's not terribly decorative. In fact, dull's the word, a lingering adjectival ghost of nut roasts past that I'm keen to banish from the table. Mary Berry wraps her version in strips of chargrilled aubergine but, although it looks rather smart, I worry that something so Mediterranean will stick out like a sore thumb on the plate, given that many vegetarians want to enjoy the same roast potatoes, sprouts and sauces as everyone else. Instead, inspired by the stuffed cabbage rolls eaten at Christmas in the Balkans and Eastern Europe, I use blanched savoy cabbage leaves to wrap my parsnippy parcel, adding a touch of festive greenery to the dish.
ref: 2011 December 15, Felicity Cloake, “How to cook the perfect nut roast”, in Guardian:

Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: grandifloras
Etymology: From translingual Grandiflora, from New Latin grandiflōra, the feminine form, following the feminine gender of rosa (“rose”), of grandiflōrus (“having large flowers”), from grandis (“large”) + flōs (“flower”, stem flōr-) + -us (suffix forming adjectives; feminine -a).
Senses: examples: text: “[…] The creation of the Grandiflora rose marks another significant milestone in horticultural progress, and opens new avenues for the use and enjoyment of roses both in the garden and in the home”.
ref: 1954, Telegraph Delivery Spirit, volume 21, page 68:
text: Many countries still refuse to recognize “grandiflora” as a legitimate name, largely on the ground that it seems to imply that the individual blooms are unusually large, whereas most grandifloras have somewhat smaller blooms than the larger hybrid teas.
ref: 1974, Roland A. Browne, The Rose-lover’s Guide: A Practical Handbook on Rose Growing, Atheneum Press, →ISBN, page 12:
text: ✓ Climbing sports: These climbers — generally named after their original variety, such as ‘Climbing Queen Elizabeth’ from the famous, pink grandiflora — result from unusually vigorous canes that grow from popular hybrid teas, grandifloras, shrubs, and floribundas.
ref: 2003, “Book III: Roses.

So many climbers, so little time, page 242:
text: Our grandiflora stands 7 ft. tall on thornless stems, adorned with massive clusters of fragrant, 4-in., clear pink blossoms whose ruffled edges are tinged with a darker pink. Without a doubt, ‘Queen Elizabeth’ deserves to be the reigning monarch of grandifloras. Grandifloras blend well with other perennials and shrubs.
ref: 2013, Bruce Asakawa, Sharon Asakawa, “Roses”, in California: Getting Started Garden Guide, Cool Springs Press, →ISBN, Grandiflora, page 125:
glosses: A rose of the Grandiflora class of roses created in the middle of the 20th century as backcrosses of hybrid teas and floribundas that fit neither category.
