A bit of a loaf for aristocrats? (3,5,5)
I believe the answer is:
the upper crust
'loaf for aristocrats?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'a bit' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' could be 'per' (eg 'one a day' means 'one per day') and 'per' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of a' acts as a link.
