Happy to exchange one drop of Tabasco for thick sauce? (9)
I believe the answer is:
condiment
'sauce?' is the definition.
(sauce is a kind of condiment)
'happy to exchange one drop of tabasco for thick' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'me' (a setter might use 'one' to humourously mean 'me') and 'me' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for condiment that I've seen before include "Ketchup perhaps" , "Season" , "Eg, pickle or pepper" , "Seasoning" .)
