There's nothing that stands out as the clear answer. I don't think it can be Pit, since Gutter Owl is right and it would be much easier to just give Olive directly as the clue for that.

Leaning towards Sub (sandwich) for lack of a better option, but I really don't know.

Works for me. I don't typically associate feta with sandwiches, but none of the others make any more sense and I agree with the argument for there being much better clues for pit.

Yeah, I'm that guy.
Yeah, tying GREECE and KETCHUP is pretty much impossible with SUB in the way. I was going to use FRIES as my clue (Greek fries, ketchup and fries), but I thought the association with SUB and FRIES was too strong...

I used FETA for GREECE obviously. I was hoping you all would associate it with KETCHUP because they're both stuff you add to dishes, but it was too much of a stretch. If I wanted to tie GREECE and SUB together, I would have used GYRO for the sandwich.

I've failed the Proletariat, sorry Red Team. :smithicide:

Oh, ketchup. Boo. Yeah, tricky one - tzatziki maybe for the sauce / condiment angle, but that's the only thing that comes to mind.

It's actually not Berlin. I didn't even think of that.

It's "Tower", because I was originally going to give "Balcony" and got a little too carried away with the Romeo and Juliet scene in my head.

Anyway, last clue was going to be Rapunzel.

Apparently "Makalo" is Greek ketchup, but I don't know if that's a legal clue.

Round seems obvious, the second one is more tricky. I'm thinking Row? Pins and lanes?
