A tin of split peas served as guest food? (7)
I believe the answer is:
canapes
'a tin of split peas served as guest food?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'a tin of split peas' is the wordplay.
'a tin' becomes 'can' ('can' can be a synonym of 'tin').
'of split' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'split' mean this).
'peas' is an anagram of 'apes'.
'can'+'apes'='CANAPES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for canapes that I've seen before include "Small party eats" , "for the party buffet" , "Appetisers" , "Savoury spreads on bread or toast as appetizer" , "food for party" .)
