Stunning puzzle, like it was made for me 🥹

Nice grid. The butter set got me

The people category was too vague for me - if you're going to do something like that, make it the *same* cardinal direction, otherwise it's just a list of names. Also, not sure about Peppermint belonging in that category, unless it's a specific American brand I don't know about.

I agree with salmacis--the people category is weird because it's two Wests and two East(wood)s. To be cleaner, it should either be all the same direction or one of each.
