could i have parses for spike's @19 and 22, please?

also i'm a bit confused by the sandwiches clues. i thought they were called subs rather than torpedoes?

ChrisE. Both clues are using an anagram indicator eg, peddle applied to “dope” attached to “tor” which is German for ‘gate”.

Chris,
Collins online has: Torpedo “A hero sandwich (informal)”

and

Hero sandwich “a large sandwich, usually consisting of a small loaf of bread or long roll cut in half lengthwise and containing a variety of ingredients, as meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes“

I can’t find any support in Chambers.
