Dish kind of spicy ends scare (7)
I believe the answer is:
petrify
'scare' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'dish kind of spicy ends' is the wordplay.
'dish kind' becomes 'petri' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ends' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letters of 'of spicy' are 'fy'.
'petri'+'fy'='PETRIFY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for petrify that I've seen before include "Turn to stone" , "Frighten stiff" , "Paralyse with fear" , "Scare stiff" .)
