A meal to eat excitedly? (3)
I believe the answer is:
tea
'a meal' is the definition.
(tea is a type of meal)
'eat excitedly?' is the wordplay.
'excitedly?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'excitedly' mean this).
'eat' with letters rearranged gives 'TEA'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "Cuppa" , "Tisane" , "Darjeeling, e.g." , "Char" , "Brew" .)
