Please could someone help me with 3 across: ... vegetable gravy? Desperate need for food wanting power (8)
Thanks in advance

I'm toying with brassica as vegetable, but can't parse.

brass and gravy synonyms for money
pica : yearning to eat
(p) ica ( without power)

brass & gravy both mean money; pica is the "unnatural craving for unsuitable food" (Ch.) minus P for power!!!

Thank you very much.

Can someone help me wth two clues? 16a and 16d.
16a - honk catches each bird, allegedly. I have ????ell. (Two words)16d - flies take in energy before start of summer. I have ??r?ams. Both are 7 letters

16. Seamell (smell/honk,with ea/each inside).

I now think 16a is sea mell. Am I right? If do, I need help with 14d. South America cut disease concerned with its primate. I have SA.O.IN 7 letters again

14. Sagouin, a monkey primate.SA+gou(t)+in.

16 D. Streams
