Back on island, exile skipped entree pastry (6)
I believe the answer is:
danish
'pastry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'back on island exile skipped entree' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'island' could be 'is' (geographical abbreviation) and 'is' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for danish that I've seen before include "Flat cake - and party's his! (anag)" , "A blue cheese; a pastry" , "Scandanavian, pastry perhaps" , "Southern Scandinavian pastry" , "Nice pastry from Copenhagen" .)
