Builds Ben up with free cod and cured meat (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
corned beef
'builds ben up with free cod' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'cured meat' is the wordplay.
'cured' becomes 'corned' (synonyms).
'meat' becomes 'beef' (beef is a kind of meat).
'corned'+'beef'='CORNED BEEF'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for corned beef that I've seen is " Tinned preserved meat".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
