Cover meat starters left out for binge (7)
I believe the answer is:
overeat
'for binge' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'cover meat starters left out' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'left' could be 'over' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'over' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'eat' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overeat that I've seen before include "Consume excessively" , "Consume too much food, stuff your stomach" , "ignore threat of a big corporation?" , "Binge" , "Take in excess" .)
