Bite to eat and beer outside quiet pub at front (5)
I believe the answer is:
apple
'bite to eat' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'beer outside quiet pub at front' is the wordplay.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
'at front' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'pub' is 'p'.
'p'+'p'='pp'
'ale' placed around 'pp' is 'APPLE'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apple that I've seen before include "The - Cart (Shaw)" , "Empire?" , "Pipped fruit" , "Fruit from Eden?" , "Jonathan, for example" .)
