A treat for the stray dogs in the enclosure? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
pound cake
'a treat' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'the stray dogs in the enclosure?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'enclosure?' could be 'pound' (pound is a kind of enclosure) and 'pound' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cake' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
