Cut the bacon I cooked (9)
I believe the answer is:
aitchbone
'cut' is the definition.
(aitchbone is a kind of cut)
'the bacon i cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'bacon'+'i'='thebaconi'
'thebaconi' is an anagram of 'AITCHBONE'.
(Other definitions for aitchbone that I've seen before include "Cut of meat" , "cut of beef" .)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
