I went from thinking this was too hard to guess on the fly to suddenly getting it within a minute or two. Interesting.
If anyone wants an additional hint, the word you plug in here isn't put in the same spot for all three words.
I've played enough NYT connections that this was immediate for me, at the expense of the promised "Aha!" moment. :D
Please, just provide the answer. Maybe it's obvious but to people like me all I can think of is recipes for butter sauces for crab legs involving pine nuts. Which actually sounds quite good.
It's something often compared to oranges.
It is answered in the article.
