Cook tangy pie– like mummy? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egyptian

'mummy?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cook tangy pie' is the wordplay.
'cook' is an anagram indicator.
'tangy'+'pie'='tangypie'
'tangypie' anagrammed gives 'EGYPTIAN'.

'like' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for egyptian that I've seen before include "Arabic" , "Is Pat eying this son of Cairo, say?" , "ancient language" , "Mummy" , "Strange tiny page for the nationality" .)
