“That’s quite a (tasty) mouthful”
💡🔵🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. A bit of a devious one this. The theme of “That’s quite a (tasty) mouthful” makes it apparent this is about food, but what exactly?
Despite immediately finding “melon”, which would be part of one of the later answers, I ended up using a clue which revealed ARUGULA in the bottom-left corner.
I then spotted AVOCADO diagonally opposite it, and in the gap between the two words was CAULIFLOWER.
I then returned to “melon” in the top corner, realizing it was part of WATERMELON.
What do these four foods have in common? They’re all made up of FOURSYLLABLES, of course.
