Nearly there.
13d Some called at Rome on the way back for Italian food (10).
-o-t-d-l-a. Guess it's some kind of cheese or pasta.

Mortadella, sausage - backwards in the clue (from 'Rome)

Thank you Malone. Although a word I do not know, I should have spotted it.
Not sure the same came be said for 1d, I couldn't even get the answer when I put every the crossing letters into a word-search. How many people have heard the word Walpurgis?
4d I also felt unfair because it requires the solver to know that Balmoral can mean hat.
I like cryptic crosswords, not general knowledge crosswords.

Glad I could help. I've seen Balmoral for hat quite often in crosswords, so I felt it was fine.

Amazing how people flaunt their ignorance
These are not at all strange -balmoral,walpurgis mortadella
Where have you been??
