Egon Ronay is a person, not a book. I know he wrote good food guides, but I think this cluesetter is perhaps a bit slack in his definitions...

Thanks Jazzgirl, got the nay...and why is "damaged incurred by one shot at competition" (the grammar is off, by the way!!!) entry fee?

One shot at a competition = entry
damage = fee
(expression is "what's the damage" meaning how much ?)

Thanks, jazzgirl, don't think it's a great clue, but think you're clever solving it!

One reason why 30a is difficult to solve is that "damaged" is actually the wrong word. It should be "damage", for reasons already explained.

Pretty sloppy, if you ask me...
