Piece of pork fat on crust in eg foil container? (8)
I believe the answer is:
scabbard
'foil container?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'piece of pork fat on crust' is the wordplay.
'piece of pork fat' becomes 'bard' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'crust' becomes 'scab' (I've seen this before).
'bard' after 'scab' is 'SCABBARD'.
'in eg' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scabbard that I've seen before include "You may see one holding a dagger" , "that carries a sword" , "One holding a sword" , "Sword holder" , "Holder for a bladed weapon" .)
