Is pate smeared with curds when they are thrown? (7,4)
I believe the answer is:
custard pies
'they are thrown?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'is pate smeared with curds' is the wordplay.
'smeared with' indicates an anagram.
'is'+'pate'='ispate'
'ispate' mixed up with 'curds' makes 'CUSTARD PIES'.
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for custard pies that I've seen is " Slapstick comedy missiles".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
