Have: ??H???L
20 Down: Yummy pickle with fresh starter (6)
Have: ???I?H

20 delish? (relish with changed starter)

ETHICAL

ET AL around HIC

6d Roman figures old Chinese leader must keep digging (7) D?L?I?G possibly "delving"??
2d Glowing account in this? (3) R?D not sure of the "R"
possibly rod??

as usual ... as soon as i pressed submit...! yes DENG is the leader with L V i inside!

L, V and I are "Roman figures" in DENG, a Chinese Premier?

RED? (Glowing, and accounts can be "in it")

Thank you, Chrise.

Had considered ethical but was unable to parse it—yours opened my eyes.

Ethical squares with 18 down which I have as auction.

Delish—from relish—is questionable not as a solution bust as a bona fide word!

Enigma

Well I have heard it said, but I haven't checked if it has made it into a dictionary!

Thank you. All done now - some "strange clues" in there today!

It has got to the Urban Dictionary, anyway
