Flavoursome plant in the Bible for you and me (5)
I believe the answer is:
thyme
'flavoursome plant' is the definition.
'thyme' can be an answer for 'plant' (thyme is a kind of plant). I am not sure about the 'flavoursome' bit.
'bible for you and me' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'me' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'thy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thyme that I've seen before include "Seasoning plant" , "Kind of mint" , "Aromatic shrub" , "Culinary herb of the mint family" , "Sage's bedmate" .)
