ZZZ! (kidding, just a joke about the mini-theme). Maybe a little too hard for a Quiptic, with few ambitious bits of wordplay that were harder (for this solver anyway) to unpack than expected, more along the lines of a 15x15. 1a was a great start, and other faves include 14a, 3d & 6d. I'm not sure 'some tuna' is as fair as (eg) 'two pieces of tuna' and there isn't much crypticity in 'veneration' in 24a, but I could be the only one thinking that! Entertaining in general & a good variety of clues.
That was tough but fun, PM, thanks for the puzzle. Finally remembered to finish this one and glad I did, with a few reveals to close out the grid. Some of these clues were rather fiendish, but tons of satisfying solves, including 1a, 8a, 13a, 19a, 21a, 22a, 4d, 7d, 18d and 20d (lovely original indicator usage).
