A great place for rice (5)
I believe the answer is:
patna
This could be a double definition.
'a great place' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'rice' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for patna that I've seen before include "Rice town" , "Source of long-grain rice" , "City of savoury rice" , "Long-grain rice type" , "Long-grained rice type" .)
