Yes, Chop suey (Sop chewy, Spoonerism)
sop = wet bread
chewy = firm and sticky
6 Plumb(ago)
13a Is that the full clue? Looks like there's a word meaning 'ribald' missing it's GI (american soldier) round a + ribald
6d plumb
13 I have no satisfactory full parse apart from 'GI'

Thanks
Gonococci perhaps
A friend that subscribes to the Times told me the Editor has said there's an error in the clue for 13a, but that he won't disclose it yet as it's a prize puzzle.

Or something. Meh.
GI sounds like wraps knock.
Ta Maj, all it can be.
That seems a bit over the top.If there is something wrong with clue it should be seen to be rectified, or that clue should be stricken from the crossword.

G?R?B?L?I
