I haven’t done the puzzle but this looks like SUSHI (a Japanese offering) to me.

That’s what I thought but the word across that gives the H is - Desperate Cash circling round in disarray (5) must be CRASH.

Eye 769 "irregular peacekeeper associating with old bastard" (9)with other letters "unnatural" seems to fit in but can't see how it would parse with the clue
Many thanks

Natural can mean illegitimate in an old sense, hence a bastard perhaps. The UN are the peacekeepers
