Books a member read about ice cream abroad (6)
I believe the answer is:
gelato
'ice cream abroad' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'books a member read about' is the wordplay.
'books' becomes 'OT' (Old Testament).
'member read' becomes 'leg' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'ot'+'a'+'leg'='otaleg'
'otaleg' in reverse letter order is 'GELATO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gelato that I've seen before include "Italian-style ice cream" , "Italian ice cream" , "treat in Milan?" , "Frozen food" .)
