Better at making a picnic? (5)
I believe the answer is:
outdo
'better' is the definition.
(to outdo is to beat or do better than)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for outdo that I've seen before include "Surpass, go one better than" , "Perform better than, be superior to" , "Get the better of" , "Beat" , "Defeat" .)
