Choose cream (5)
I believe the answer is:
elect
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'choose' is the first definition.
(I know that elect is a more specific form of the action choose)
'cream' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for elect that I've seen before include "Vote into office" , "Choose; chosen" , "Choose for Parliament, say" , "Chosen, singled out" , "Exclusive group" .)
