Stuck on the wordplay for a couple....

14a Spread of food with litres for drinking (5) - FLARE?

Spread of food would be FARE around L, but I just can't make sense of the definition - or is it something else?

50a Party of characters in dance capitalised? (7,8,8) - AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS (Party)

Okay, I think I've been looking at 14a back to front - if SPREAD is the definition and 'Drinking' the containment indicator it suddenly makes sense.

Still baffled by parsing for 50a though.
