Bacon or cheese, perhaps (4)
I believe the answer is:
rind
This might be a double definition.
'bacon' is the first 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?
'cheese perhaps' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rind that I've seen before include "Fruit covering" , "Outer layer (of cheese)" , "outside" , "Tough outer layer" , "thick skin" .)
