A dose of Farage no alternative for the City (5)
I believe the answer is:
genoa
'city' is the definition.
(Genoa is an example)
'a dose of farage no alternative for' is the wordplay.
'GENOA' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for genoa that I've seen before include "Italian city has no age, oddly" , "Type of rich fruit cake" , "City of Italy" , "North Italian port" , "Italian city; sail" .)
