As eaten by the Spanish in an area of S.E. France? (7)
I believe the answer is:
saveloy
'france?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'as eaten by the spanish in an area of s e' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'an' could be 'a' and 'a' is found within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
's' is within the answer.
'e' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'vly' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
