[ti]Blue ribbon[/ti]No Vowels, Numbers, Gaps #5

Finally, another of these! Here are the rules:
  • I post a list of 25 names, each relating to a specific theme, with the vowels, numbers and gaps removed.
  • Each person may make up to 6 guesses per day.
  • The contest runs until Wednesday, 17th October at 10pm GMT, or when all of them have been guessed correctly, whichever is sooner.
  • The clues are worth 5 posts each. On top of this, anyone who answers at least 10 correctly receives 25 bonus posts, in addition to those from the clues.
  • A Posted Image Blue Ribbon will be awarded to the winner, should they exceed the following total:
    • 110 posts, if 2 people participate;
    • 95 posts, if 3 people participate;
    • 80 posts, if 4 or more people participate.
  • Any answers that fit, but are not the ones I had been thinking of, will receive 5 bonus posts (but only for answers which are actually distinct from the one I'd intended, not for mere variations on the intended answer; for example, 'Mediaeval' would not be accepted for bonus points if the actual answer was "Medieval").
  • If an answer has multiple names, I will accept any which matches the clue when all of the vowels, numbers and gaps have been removed.
This time, the theme is Food and drink. Given the number of different dishes, not to mention branded products (as well as the fact that many of these clues are pretty short), there should be plenty of scope for bonus points by coming up with alternatives to my ones. As usual, there will also be a couple of "shenanigan" answers, so look out for those :P !

1) CNNMNPLNCHD
2) TRBTNG
3) LKSSW
4) GCML (Guacamole - answered by PL-Stokie)
5) KRV (Krave - answered by PL-Stokie)
6) R
7) KHLM
8) NSTT
9) SKYR
10) NRZSH
11) BLDYMR
12) CBTT
13) CRMPG
14) SPDRY
15) STNBL
16) PNCH
17) SSBC
18) TRF
19) LT
20) TK
21) TL
22) LKM
23) YT
24) CSSN
25) SSLT (Sea salt - Answered by HeroofDarkness)

Bonuses:
#6: Roe (Given by PL-Stokie)
#6: Aero (Given by PL-
#16: Punch (Given by HeroofDarkness)

Scores:
PL-Stokie: 20
HeroofDarkness: 10

Good luck!

@PL: That's correct :) .
@HoD: #16 isn't what I had in mind, but I'll allow it as an alternative. #25 is correct, though.

Since this seems to be causing a bit of trouble, here's your first clue:

2, 3, 11 and 21 are all drinks. The rest are food. (This only applies to my intended solutions; if anyone comes up with food that fits 2, 3, 11 or 21, or drink that fits any of the others, I'll still accept them for bonus points.)
