This one has taken me over two weeks and I'm completely stumped on the last two. Any help would be much appreciated.
18ac. German host served up meat in curry sauce
G _ S _ T

21 ac. Italian form of overblown male in a very operatic song (6, 4)
_ T _ A _ A _ I _ A

I have checked and double-checked the letters.

18 Gosht, meat in a curry sauce. It's a variation of the more common spellings. It's an anagram of Host with G for German.

21 Ottava Rima,

Thanks so much for this and the other one, Malone. Your speed puts me to shame - I've been puzzling hours on these two! Your help is greatly appreciated.

Took me a while to parse that one…
OTT (overblown) + M in A V ARIA

Bellakemp, glad I could help.

Jono, thanks for the Ottava... parsing. I got it by guessing/vaguely remembering the first word.
