Something for Jack to finish breakfast with? (4)
I believe the answer is:
tart
'breakfast with?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'something for jack to finish' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'jack' could be 'tar' (both are informal terms for sailor) and 'tar' is present in the answer.
A single letter 't' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tart that I've seen before include "Sarcastic" , "Bitter - pudding" , "Sour -- acid" , "Sharp tasting- like kind of pie?" , "A bit sour, like flattish pie" .)
