A dash of lemon sorbet ordered with second seafood dish? (8)
I believe the answer is:
lobsters
'a dash of lemon sorbet ordered with second seafood dish?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'a dash of lemon sorbet ordered with second' is the wordplay.
'a dash of' says to take the initial letters (a small amount of the word).
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
The initial letter of 'lemon' is 'l'.
'l'+'sorbet'='lsorbet'
'lsorbet' with letters rearranged gives 'lobster'.
'lobster'+'s'='LOBSTERS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lobsters that I've seen before include "Tasty invertebrates, red when boiled" , "Large tasty crustaceans" , "Bolsters up the shellfish" , "Large marine crustaceans" , "Crustaceans that turn red when cooked" .)
