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 rhyme.
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?!
