EEK! AB.

I feel such a fool. Couldn't see the wood for the trees. Never really 'saw' the "T". Must have been fixated on the "woman". It's my age!!
Thank you very much.

Don't have crossword. but would the answer be "spring pea"? Anagram of "get" and "parsni"(p) so "For vegetable, fricassee "get" (with) parsni(p) chopped" would work as well?

Thanks also Jazzy and Bullfrog. Methinks I'll go and hide my head somewhere, Oh! The shame of it all.

Jazzy (x) Yep! I've solved 3D. I should have included the provided clue in SAGA.

For vegetable fricassee get parsnip chopped (6,3)
I criticise the structure of the clue. Probably a typo.

I don't like to disagree but surely the solution to the vegetable fricassee clue is STRING PEA - not SPRING PEA.

Fricassee indicates the anagram of GET and PARSNI(p) chopped which gives STRING PEA.

According to Chambers there is no such thing as spring pea where as a string pea is "a pea with edible pods"

The structure of the clue is perfectly good - no typo that I can see!
