Finished, but one I can't parse. Any hints?
19d Thick sauce and pieces of meat, but no starter served up (6)
?T?P?D
The answer is obvious, but I'm not seeing how it works.


[I thought the solution to 20a was totally unfair - a made-up word from a book that more people claim to have read than actually have! Impossible without a wordsearch and Google]

(C)uts in dips reversed. 20A is my only remaining clue so a hint would be welcome!

Yes, barny. It's a palindrome.

One left. 5ac "supporter covering grass for sporting occasion". I have b*a*/r*c*
I can put a solution in which satisfies all the parts of the clue, but it is not an expression l have ever heard of.
Have I gone wrong somewhere?
