Bar almost ruined meal (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
roast lamb
'meal' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'bar almost ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'bar'+'almost'='baralmost'
'baralmost' with letters rearranged gives 'ROAST LAMB'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roast lamb that I've seen before include "Something to eat" , "cut at the weekend" , "Dish with mint sauce" .)
