British roast, cooked and left at remand home (7)
I believe the answer is:
borstal
'remand home' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'british roast cooked and left' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC).
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'roast' anagrammed gives 'orsta'.
'b'+'orsta'+'l'='BORSTAL'
'at' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for borstal that I've seen before include "Former establishment for offenders aged 15 to 21" , "Reformatory school" , "Old reform school for youths" , "Old institution" , "Former reform school" .)
