Mix the tips of asparagus, radish, radicchio and dried pulses (5)
I believe the answer is:
radar
'mix the tips of asparagus radish radicchio and dried pulses' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'mix the tips of asparagus radish radicchio and dried' is the wordplay.
'mix' indicates anagramming the letters.
'the tips of' says to take the initial letters (I've seen 'tip of' mean this).
The first letters of 'asparagus radish radicchio and dried' is 'arrad'.
'arrad' anagrammed gives 'RADAR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for radar that I've seen before include "System that detects and locates distant objects" , "A help in locating" , "Pulse detection system" , "Electronic detection system" , "waves to expose foe" .)
