Black fruit or fruitcake? (7)
I believe the answer is:
bananas
'black fruit' is the definition.
'bananas' can be an answer for 'fruit' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'black' bit.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bananas that I've seen before include "Fruit; mad" , "Crazed" , "off 27 [TROLLEY]" , "nutty" , "Mad - curved fruits" .)
