Comments from sheep about meat in islands (7)
I believe the answer is:
bahamas
'islands' is the definition.
(island nation)
'comments from sheep about meat in' is the wordplay.
'comments from sheep' becomes 'bas' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' becomes 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers).
'meat' becomes 'ham' (ham is a kind of meat).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a'+'ham'='aham'
'bas' going around 'aham' is 'BAHAMAS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bahamas that I've seen before include "Atlantic islands" , "warm country" , "WI island group" , "holiday destination" , "Island group between Haiti and Florida" .)
