Baron needs beer and a lot of fibre (4)
I believe the answer is:
bale
'a lot of fibre' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'baron needs beer' is the wordplay.
'baron' becomes 'b'.
'needs' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'b'+'ale'='BALE'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bale that I've seen before include "Parcel" , "Bundle of goods" , "Evil - bundle" , "Bound bundle" , "(Make into a) bundle of hay" .)
