Three short word puzzles

[dougo]

Find the following English words:

1. A one-word anagram for DELICATESSEN. (No fair cheating.)
2. A verb whose present tense can be pronounced differently to become the past tense of another verb.
3. A word you might find on a tube of toothpaste that can be anagrammed into the name of a small country by adding one letter.

I sent in the last one to the NPR Weekend Edition Sunday Puzzle a couple years ago but I don't think it ever made it on the air (I don't actually listen to the show, I just read the website occasionally).

Comments will be screened for a few days, so feel free to post answers.

ISO 3166 thinks it is. Of course, they also think Puerto Rico is -- and everyone knows that Puerto Rico is a board game, not a country.
