Much as I'm aghast at eating swedes, with a little treacle they might go
down OK, so 6 and 7 for me.

[Judy Madnick]

I'll try these somewhat opposites:

 

1.            Depression, melancholia.

 

3.            The state of being overly jocular.

[Daniel B Widdis]

I love a fine steak and wine, so 9 and 13 for me.

 

[Ryan McGill]

1 & 4, I think.

1.            Depression, melancholia.

[Dave Cunningham]

7 and 9 this time out.

Dave

[Paul Keating]

1 & 13 for me.

[ALAN MALLACH]

I'm going to go with 6 on the grounds that the word sounds foodish, and 13 on the grounds that it's so crazy it might be real.

6 and 13, the latter at least in part to reward someone for all that typing.
