Food they bake badly at Birkenhead? (5)
I believe the answer is:
kebab
'food' is the definition.
(kebab is a kind of food)
'bake badly at birkenhead?' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator (letters in the wrong order).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'birkenhead?' becomes 'b' (head letter of 'birken').
'bake' is an anagram of 'keba'.
'keba'+'b'='KEBAB'
'they' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kebab that I've seen before include "Food grilled on a skewer" , "Post-pub snack?" , "Cubes of meat on a skewer" , "Shish dish" , "Pieces of meat, vegetables etc cooked on skewer" .)
