Description of rank cod and onion men prepared, tucked into by girl (3-12)
I believe the answer is:
non-commissioned
'description of rank' is the definition.
(as in non-commissioned ranks in the army)
'cod and onion men prepared tucked into by girl' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is present in the answer.
'men' could be 'mm' (N is short for knight - man can mean a chess piece) and 'mm' is located in the answer.
'girl' could be 'issi' and 'issi' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
