One letter or word must be removed from each clue before it can be solved:
11a I like some eggs or Greek bread, not left empty (7)
33a Chinese people would like to possess Peking's original goblets (6)
Any help please.

Thank you AJT - I see Hans for chinese people and hanaps for goblets, but what letter or word "would be removed"?

I think perhaps "as" for like" containing P (peking's original), and so the missing letter would be s.

I've been trying to work on vacuous for the other - eggs ova, missing o, but I can't see the connection with the rest of the word, either bread or currency.

28d possibly triff (terrific) as a definition of def (defo definitely) leaving extra letter as "A"
All guesswork - others help me if I'm wrong!
