'ouse rented by Taiwanese on vacation wanting egg fu yung? (8)
I believe the answer is:
omelette
'egg fu yung?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
''ouse rented by taiwanese on vacation' is the wordplay.
''ouse' becomes ''ome' ('home' - homing is a kind of housing - said with the 'H' dropped, a cockney accent, like 'house' was).
'rented' becomes 'let' (I've seen this in another clue).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'on vacation' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (after the inside letters have vacated the word).
'taiwanese' with its middle removed is 'te'.
'ome'+'let'+'te'='OMELETTE'
'wanting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for omelette that I've seen before include "Beaten-egg dish" , "One takes beating" , "Smashed eggs" , "One getting beaten" , "Broken-egg dish" .)
