Afternoon here in Japan, hlvp. And that’s another word I am completely unfamiliar with. I’m adding so much to my general knowledge and vocabulary doing these crosswords.

It's an anagram. Two articles = 'A' and 'The' + A MENU

NILE GREEN its an anagram of engineer + L (student). It's also a shade of green but I had to look it up to confirm.

...and a bug on the Chambers site. Looking for "passé" returns no results, but looking
for "passe" returns "passé". Yes, I check nearly every word I'm not absolutely certain exists
in your weird idiom, lest I often embarass myself guessing as with "Nonce" the other day

Yes, and 23A
AWARD, Advise + Democrat + WAR
Best 24D parsing I could come up with
A1 + Line + Authorized Version
Ah, I see Ell got that too - sorry I didn't refrsh the page before posting. Cheers, well done !
I'm game for the Toughie (I'll be on and mostly off, but it could help my next insomnias)

GuLi, do you do these in your second language? Remarkable, if so.
