Conduct of consuming interest? (5,7)
I believe the answer is:
table manners
'consuming interest?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'conduct' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'conduct' could be 'manners' (manners is a kind of conduct) and 'manners' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'table' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for table manners that I've seen before include "Good eating behaviour" , "Behaviour at meals" , "Meal etiquette" , "Dinner time etiquette" , "A branch of etiquette" .)
