Break a record in flavour (9)
I believe the answer is:
coriander
'flavour' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'break a record in' is the wordplay.
'break' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'record'+'in'='arecordin'
'arecordin' with letters rearranged gives 'CORIANDER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coriander that I've seen before include "Aromatic herb" , "Herb used with carrot for soup" , "Parsley-like herb used in cooking" , "Culinary herb" , "An aromatic seed; carried on (anag.)" .)
