1D: Recipes = FORMULAE. FOR (as given in the clue) + MULE (obstinate animal) including A for acidity
ReplyDelete2D: ZERO. O is the last letter for both 3D & 4D
3D: Cave = GROTTO. Try = GO, around ROT (rubbish) & T (last letter of project)
4D: Mexican roll =BURRITO. Anagram of "our Brit"

23ac. BASILICA.. BA is graduate.. SILICA major component of sand
29AC. ENCHILADA.. EN CHI(A)LD A English kid is en child ..around a(pril ) is enchilad....gets one ..is A

Delete31A. Decamp. German= de. Accountant= ca. Rep=MP
ReplyDelete21A and not 31.
DeleteI had my doubts about 'De' from German. 'Der' is the in German. Clarification?
Der is "the" in German, but there is no "the" in the clue.. Language code for German in ISO 639-1 is de.
DeleteThank you- I knew there is a catch somewhere. One never stops learning.
Delete13A. Salsa. A lass. Dances is anagrind

DeleteMeaning is " bring in "
DeletePort = goods that are brought in and out

hence = Import
You have missed the important part- Meaning.
