The answers to today's Strands, game #177, are PEPPERS ZUCCHINI EGGPLANT 
TOMATOES ONIONS SPANGRAM: RATATOUILLE My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect 

As Strands' theme clues go, today's is among the most cryptic we've had  
until you know the answer, of course. 'Pixar fare' refers to the classic 
animated movie RATATOUILLE, which forms the spangram, but the actual theme of 
the game is not cartoon films but rather the French dish ratatouille, or 
rather the ingredients for it. 

Whether that held you back or not will probably have depended on how much 
time you spent simply looking randomly for answers. I found PEPPERS and 
ZUCCHINI without actively trying to, and that was enough to make me realize 
that I should start looking for vegetables. I still couldn't see the 
connection with Pixar, but it didn't matter, because once I found EGGPLANT 
and TOMATOES the spangram revealed itself too.
