Comments on the competition
1.
Interesting one, and as expected a good proportion of clues coming in as anagrams using 'meals', 'odd', 'made' etc.

Where 'made' has been directly used in the clue, it seems a bit of an easy way out

A question to consider: should the definition be indicated in the plural (dolma vs dolmades)?

Clues 32 and 37 stood out from the rest in my opinion, doing the job neatly without too much fuss
