Around noon, preacher finally consumed beer and cheese (11)
I believe the answer is:
wensleydale
'cheese' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'around noon preacher finally consumed beer' is the wordplay.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'noon' becomes 'n' (abbreviation for noon).
'preacher' becomes 'wesley' (I've seen this before).
'finally consumed beer' becomes 'dale' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'n' inserted inside 'wesley' is 'wensley'.
'wensley'+'dale'='WENSLEYDALE'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wensleydale that I've seen before include "4 across" , "Yorkshire cheese" , "Type of white cheese" , "White crumbly variety of cheese" , "Say, we'll need (anag); a cheese" .)
