Complain to Keats perhaps as a main meal (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
beef-steak
'a main meal' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'complain to keats perhaps' is the wordplay.
'complain' becomes 'beef' (beefing is a kind of complaining).
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'keats' anagrammed gives 'steak'.
'beef'+'steak'='BEEF-STEAK'
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
