Ox mince we fancy in part of America (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
new mexico
'part of america' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'ox mince we fancy' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ox'+'mince'+'we'='oxmincewe'
'oxmincewe' with letters rearranged gives 'NEW MEXICO'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for new mexico that I've seen before include "Forty seventh state of the USA" , "SW US state" , "American state, capital Santa Fe" , "Southern US state" , "US state since 1912" .)
