Lorna, I haven't been here for a while, but glad to see you're still here, and still creating genius, creative grids! Love it!

Super creative,
I wanted to do something like this, but wasn't sure if it would work, but you've pulled it off.

very nice indeed

0/10 - but can’t fault it; my brain now hurts 😁

got the structure, but struggled beyond cheese!

so 8 clues rather than 4????? eh? could wire wings and dip straw also have been wire straw and dip wings???

bizarre

Wings?
Yep- the order of the words was just to give the clues the appearance of a (false) inherent meaning; they're swap-able but as they're in the same cheesy group it's still a unique solution.
As well as setting the usual 4x4 red herring format I do sometimes muck about with the form and use mental interrupters like this. I'm fully aware that I'm not everyone's cup of tea but I'm there for those who like a bit of variety.
I take bizarre as a compliment
