FT 13340 (Dante): Working out Easter may be a problem (6) TEASER Anagram of EASTER
Guardian 24523 (Araucaria): Oriental feast attended by new queen (9) EASTER + N + ER
Welcome here, Patrick. Both answers are correct.
Sets aside broken Easter eggs (10) : Segregates ?
@Hobbes: Right, an anagram.
Hints for the remaining two:
Azed 1863: Eater welcomes this caviar in post-Lenten communication? (7)
The definition is "this caviar". One of those rare clues in which the definition is not at the start/end.
Jumbo 763: Looking ridiculous after carelessly consuming chocolate at Easter? (4,3,2,4,4)
A d&cd clue. Think of chocolate in the context of Easter.
763: With egg on ones face
Good answer!
Azed 1863: Eater welcomes this caviar in post-Lenten communication? (7) STERLET (Eater + Sterlet -> Easter Letter)
