Beloved setter secures containers for leftovers (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
doggy bags
'containers for leftovers' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'beloved setter' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'setter' could be 'dog' (a setter is a type of dog) and 'dog' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'secures' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for doggy bags that I've seen is " People remove them after eating".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
