A claimant nearly ruined food processor? (10,5)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
alimentary canal
'food processor?' is the definition.
(part of the body which processes food)
'a claimant nearly ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'claimant'+'nearly'='claimantnearly'
'claimantnearly' is an anagram of 'limentarycanal'.
'a'+'limentarycanal'='ALIMENTARY CANAL'
(Another definition for alimentary canal that I've seen is " gut".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
