18d Admission granted for course (6)

-n-r-e

I had entree but apparently this is not right according to 'Clued Up'
entree
Question Author
Thats what I had and I think it must be right...but not according the telegraph clued up
can't think its anything else entree as in being granted entry to somewhere and as in starter/entree/main course etc
Question Author
I know, I think the telegraph has messed up its online xword again. Can't submit it because it thinks it's wrong.
16a - I think the clue should have read "chestnut stuffing" - singular - and even then it's not a good clue.

I've never heard a horse chestnut described as a horse: you might as well call a grass snake a grass, or, as happened in another puzzle, a gorse bird a gorse.

Glad it wasn't just me that thought it was a pretty obtuse clue! :-)
I guess I should have read my own blog!!

Gazza has pointed out on there that the chestnuts are chestnut horses not horse chestnuts!! The problem with the word being plural remains.
