Is such rice instantly ready for a bit of a snack? (5)
I believe the answer is:
patna
'is such rice instantly' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'ready for a bit of a snack?' is the wordplay.
'ready' becomes 'pat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a bit of a snack?' becomes 'na' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pat'+'na'='PATNA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for patna that I've seen before include "Long-grained rice type" , "Rice town" , "Source of long-grain rice" , "Long-grain rice type" , "Variety of long-grain rice" .)
