I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bloom's outspoken' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'after whiskey meal' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'whiskey' becomes 'rye whiskey' (rye whiskey is a type of whiskey).
'meal' becomes 'flour' (flour is a kind of meal).
'rye'+'flour' is 'RYE FLOUR'.

Can you help me to learn more?
