Two parsing queries from today's Times :-

1) Prepare for cooking a plant - do it with mincing? (3,3,4) T?P ?N? T?I? It's obviously TOP AND TAIL, but I don't get the "mincing" bit.

2) Completely taken by alphabetical statement of the obvious? (4,4,5) H?A? O?E? H?E?S. It's obviously HEAD OVER HEELS ("Completely"), but I don't get the rest. TIA.

Top and tail - anag 'a plant do it' Head over heels (completely taken by) - 'head' comes before 'heels' alphabetically. Best I can see...

Sorry - "mincing" is the anagram indicator
