A hatred of vegetables such as turnips? (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
rooted dislike
'a hatred of vegetables' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'as turnips?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'as' could be 'like' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'like' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'such' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
