Decay -- as might stew? (2,2,3)
I believe the answer is:
go to pot
'decay' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for go to pot that I've seen before include "Deteriorate completely - ready to be cooked?" , "Tea bags will" , "Fall into neglect" , "run down" , "Deteriorate, like food ready for cooking?" .)
