Relies on goulash in Shakespearean setting (8)
I believe the answer is:
elsinore
'shakespearean setting' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'relies on goulash' is the wordplay.
'goulash' indicates an anagram (goulash is a type of stew or mixture).
'relies'+'on'='relieson'
'relieson' is an anagram of 'ELSINORE'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for elsinore that I've seen before include "Tragic scene" , "Location for Hamlet" , "Zealand port" , "Hamlet's place" , "Danish city" .)
