Got on with the comestibles at the trading centre (5)
I believe the answer is:
fared
'got on' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'with the comestibles at the trading centre' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'the comestibles at' becomes 'fare' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'centre' says to take the centre.
The middle letter of 'trading' is 'd'.
'fare'+'d' is 'FARED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fared that I've seen before include "Proceeded, made out" , "Got on, managed" .)
