@Chris 13a is just an anagram isn't it ?

Letters correct, clarkgwent. It isn't English, though!

I'm going to have to ask for a hint. How about 1a
Pig called out for flavouring (6)
The closest I've come is BORAGE, but it doesn't work.

@clarkgwent

Yes, correct letters. It is French

Thanks cerasus. I had GLID (as in "glided").

@chris
There is a cartoon pig which is a homophone for the flavouring

Thanks cerasus. I'd just got 2d, so remembered the cartoon pig. Dreadful clue!

Finished. 3d irritating too - "in" in clue and solution.

Chris: And the dodgy definitions in 4D, 24A and 26A (it's not a wolf!), and the French answer, and the exclamation, and the casual reversal of the usual phrase in 11A. Not many reasons for the setter to feel self-satisfied about this one.

I agree about 4d. Last one in - it parses well, but the definition is very loose.

I'm reasonably happy with 26 being a wolf, though. It's as closely related as the other wolves are to each other.

I'd post the Wiki link, but that would give the answer.

26a "kind of wolf "is the def. (not wolf)
Both belong to the family Canidae so acceptable, in my view
