Cured pigmeat or game with back stripped (6)
I believe the answer is:
gammon
'cured pigmeat' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'game with back stripped' is the wordplay.
'game' becomes 'ammon' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'back' becomes 'ago' (synonyms).
'stripped' indicates the central letters.
The middle letter of 'ago' is 'g'.
'ammon' after 'g' is 'GAMMON'.
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gammon that I've seen before include "Cured meat of hindquarters of a pig" , "Cured or smoked ham" , "Hoax - hock of hog" , "Bottom piece of a side of bacon" , "Smoked pig meat" .)
