By midmorning there's plenty of food (7)
I believe the answer is:
noodles
'food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'by midmorning there's plenty' is the wordplay.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'midmorning there' becomes 'n' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'plenty' becomes 'oodles' (I've seen this before).
'n'+'oodles' is 'NOODLES'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noodles that I've seen before include "Fools; pasta" , "Far Eastern food" , "idiots!" , "On instrument casually plays" , "Narrow strips of pasta, or slang heads" .)
