Cold fruit and fries (5)
I believe the answer is:
chips
'fries' is the definition.
(French fries)
'cold fruit' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'C' (eg on taps).
'fruit' becomes 'hips' (I've seen this before).
'c'+'hips'='CHIPS'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for chips that I've seen before include "Goodbye, Mr -, novel" , "Fries; golf shots" , "Gaming counters" , "Fried potatoes" , "Casino currency" .)
