I can see that LOOT could be the spoils or the 'tricks' received from trick or treating and they are in a bag. It's always hard to be certain with RTE but I can't see any further play or words

I feel it should be tote as in tote bag - tot from the first letters of trick or treating, but I can't parse the E at the end.
Poke?

Poke = Bag

Poke = Tease
Question Author
Thank you both for your replies. I thought IOTA might be ok. "A" is at the end because of 2d which is - Try different plates for the desired diet (6) I put "Sample" . Is that incorrect.
I
STAPLE is an anagram of plates
Staple, anag plates
Question Author
Staple is correct. That now leaves 8A ?O?T
Where does the O come from Aelred, I'm stumped ;-)
If the clue read:

Bag of tricks after trick-or-treat. (4)

And the "O" should be an "A" I'd be happier ;-)

Tart
Lost
the O comes from 1d Only the fairer sex enrhis - not that they'd dare to (2,4,4) No mans land
that should have read Only the fairer sex enter this - not that they'd dare to.
sorry about that, think I'll go back to sleep
No mans land looks good, poorclare so the pattern ?O?T looks right- but please can you parse LOST for me..
Is the above clue exactly right for 8a? TORT fits also but I can't parse that either
Is Kort a word? (hidden in clue?) I have heard of kort leather bags
loot

Thank you fiction-factory. Loot seems ok
