Can a primate make a snack? (6)
I believe the answer is:
canape
'a snack?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'can a primate' is the wordplay.
'a primate' becomes 'ape' (ape is a kind of primate).
'can'+'ape'='CANAPE'
'make' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for canape that I've seen before include "bite to eat" , "Piece of finger food" , "Hors d'oeuvre" , "Small biscuit with savoury on top" , "Small savoury on toast or bread" .)
