Kitchen: Stage 3

Composer's Prologue
no.	Solve	Word Riddles
1	A Book marked with a trident	Drawn on the spine of where writing belongs, I'm Poseidon's scepter of three poking prongs
2	A Crossed sword and axe	We mark what's produced in the coopering trade; we're a handle and head over hilt and a blade
3	A Shield marked with a devil's face	I'm a saver of knights from the strike of a mace; most strikingly marked with a most hellish face
4	Slices of Bread	When a tasty ham sandwich is what you desire, we're the wheat top and bottom your snack will require
5	A Slab of meat	I'm a measure of muscle from bovine or swine; once cut and cooked, upon me you may dine
6	A Wine glass	I'm a goblet upon a preserving glass case; a single serving of Merlot's rightful place
7	2 Carrots forming an 'X'	We're the prey of a rabbit when out of its den, a letter in texts and a numeral ten
8	Rotting Carrots	We're a pile of rusty root vegetables rottin; to eat us while fresh, someone's cleary forgotten
9	Hot Coals	Beneath roasting morsels we're lying about, the glowing remains of a fire died out
10	A Sack of Sugar	We're granules well known to make teeth rot and hurt; found by the cup in the sweetest desserts
11	Spilled milk	I'm a cereal soaker made into a mess, for my glass has been handled with little finesse
12	A Cow skull	I once was a home to the thoughts of a steer, until he decompsed on the desert frontier
13	An Lion emblem	Painted in black, I'm the head of maned kings; a roarer on wooden planks bound by two rings
14	A Punch bowl	A serving bowl named like the swing of a fist, I hold drinks for all upon a party's guest list
15	A Spider	Amidst decaying food, I would most likely thrive; when your dinner rots, my meals will soon arrive
16	A Mob	With me in your hands, you'll find spills are no match; I ably soak up almost any wet patch
17	A Cauldron marked with a bull's head.	I'm a dual-horned mark on a boiler of brew; it's the cape-wielding matador that I oft pursue
18	A Wheel of cheese	I'm the meltable product of many milked herds; a roller resulting from pressing of curds
19	A Knife in a loaf of bread	It's clear that a victim may die by my thrust, but here I've not murdered; I've merely pierced crust
20	A Pair of haning Spices	We're duo flavor enhancers supports by string; the two separate from four, used to give food more zing
