word - Piece de Resistance - Queen Machina, my Majesty, Time for a Hearty Supper!



Queen Machina, my Majesty, Time for a Hearty Supper!


This puzzle is part of the "Piece de Resistance" series. Go back to Part 1 (Ace) for the story.
Ace Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Queen King... Jack


No more images... (for the time being), back to words...



$\mathfrak{\text{- rosin control}}$
$\mathfrak{\text{- escape talk}}$
$\mathfrak{\text{- current bond}}$
$\mathfrak{\text{- smallest direction}}$
$\mathfrak{\text{- unpleasant garbage}}$




Rest Assured


1) No obscure words


2) No P.SE usernames involved


3) The answer is a word. The title will make some sense when the answer is found.


Hints


Level 1



"Unpleasant garbage" can be replaced by "unpleasant mess".




Level 2



As some of you have suspected in the comments, this puzzle has nothing to do with .



Level 3:



@PiIsNot3 has already correctly identified the logic. 2 more to go!



Level 4:




"Unpleasant garbage" can be replaced by "strict code".




Answer



Here's an attempt to tie this up... As already established, the clues here refer to:



Pairs of words whose spellings differ by the removal of a letter.



rosin control



RE[S]IN - REIN




escape talk



CH[E]AT - CHAT



current bond (formerly 'spray heart')



TI[D]E - TIE



smallest direction




WE[E]ST - WEST (found by @PilsNot3 - the two of us both discovered the same solutions to the first two clues independently but I had favoured [L]EAST - EAST here until attempting to spell the linking word out...)



unpleasant garbage (or 'strict code' in hints)



HA[R]SH - HASH



Taking the 'unshared' letters from each pair suggests a solution of:



SEDER - a Jewish ritual service and ceremonial dinner, which would link with 'supper' in the title. Not sure on the 'Queen Machina' reference - isn't she a Power Rangers baddie?!
