One who hunts deer, moose, or other large game on the snow, when the crust is strong enough to support the hunter but not the game, which is in consequence easily overtaken and killed.

bilby commented on the word crust-hunter
Well I have to confess here.
A while ago I bought a tub of (Arab) sesame halwa. Unbeknown to me there was tiny crack in it and the interaction with the air had created a quite chewy crust on it ... which I liked far more than the halva the way it normally is.
So now I have another tub sitting a home with the lib off awaiting its crusty maturity, but every time I pop into the Persian grocery I have a look through the halva tubs to see if there might be another secretly-broken treasure.
