Date in the country style? (5)
I believe the answer is:
tryst
'date' is the definition.
(I know that tryst is a type of date)
'in the country style?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TRYST' can be found hidden inside 'country style'.
(Other definitions for tryst that I've seen before include "cattle-fair" , "private appointment" , "(Secret) meeting between lovers" , "Romantic assignation" , "where lovers meet" .)
