A nuttily animated Frescobaldi piece! (3)
I believe the answer is:
cob
'a nuttily animated frescobaldi piece' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'animated frescobaldi piece' is the wordplay.
'piece' indicates a hidden word.
'COB' is hidden within 'animated frescobaldi'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cob that I've seen before include "Round loaf of bread" , "Hazelnut" , "Source of bread" , "Swan of Jacobean origin" , "mount" .)
