Change order for Manx cat re mice as dessert (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
ice cream
'dessert' is the definition.
(ice cream is a kind of dessert)
'change order for manx cat re mice' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
're' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ice cream that I've seen before include "chilling creation" , "Gelato-like dessert" , "99, for example" , "Dairy dessert" , "Sweet frozen foodstuff" .)
