Reptiles into devouring a torso? (6) R??ORS 

Feast I seethed about includes crustless pie (6) E???IA 

Thanks 

[Neveracrossword]

1 In the clue....

 

 

[Neveracrossword]

PS, with the first R being wrong.

[Neveracrossword]

2 Isodia, feast.Ot involves  Sod, I and (p)I(e), I think.

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Now I thought of that, but I got distracted by another clue giving the R! Rabbit holes...

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Thanks for both :) 

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, NMA - I didn't really parse the Feast, I was near the end by then!

[Tilly2]

I am finding today's crossword very difficult.

Could I have some confirmations of some I have managed?

34a Less sensible director sacked later. (5)

After?

9d. Virginia's sauce succeeded with turkey. (4)

Mayo?

Thank you.

 

[Neveracrossword]

Tilly2, I really enjoyed today's puzzle, but it was definitely tougher than the last two.

Yes, After, later, Dafter, less sensible, loses the D.

9 Sass, sauce, cheek, impertinence etc in American, Virginia. S, succeeded, in Chambers and Ass, turkey, dud etc (also American)

[Tilly2]

Thank you,NAC. 

[Neveracrossword]

Tilly2, glad I could help.

A tricky offering from Pabulum this week with one or two fiendish clues. Challenging, but great fun

[gourami67]

A nice one from Pabulum.  FOD think of 32A as an americanism for reptiles.

I think the GATORS one was pretty much laid out on a plate for us by Neveracrossword yesterday

[PiffPoff]

I'm stumped on 19D. It's unclued. I have all the other unclueds solved. I have:

?E?A?S?A?D.

 

I thinks it's 3 words.

[newmodarmy]

is the first A defintely right?

[PiffPoff]

I believe it is. It comes from another unclued entry: ELECTRA

[JJ109]

No Mans Land

[PiffPoff]
