Help plase with explanations.
11d (4) -e-a Female worried about cheese
16d (3) c-n Discard odd links in chain (can?)
Thanking you.

feta

can is right.

Surely the first is EDAM (anagram of "dame") ?
Second one CAN odd letters in "chain"

16 is can. Discard the H & The I from Chain

Sorry, Phillips FETA fits better!

Thank you all.

I had feta based on ate being the past participle of eat, when something worries/eats at you. The f coming from female.

Can was simply when you can/discard something.

The kind of clue we've often argued about. Appears to be feta, using anagram of ate (worried). I think this is unfair, even though it's so simple. An anagram shouldn't require inference; the necessary letters should always be in the clue itself.

Thank you andyc for your explanation.

aristo, it's not an anagram.

worried = ate, about = eta.
