Dish of duck gentleman sent back with dry egg (7)
I believe the answer is:
risotto
'dish' is the definition.
(I know that risotto is a type of dish)
'duck gentleman sent back with dry egg' is the wordplay.
'duck' becomes 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket).
'gentleman' becomes 'sir' (a man may be addressed as sir).
'sent back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'with dry' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation for teetotal. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'egg' becomes 'o' (an 'o' resembles an egg).
'o'+'sir'='osir'
'osir' reversed gives 'riso'.
'riso'+'tt'+'o'='RISOTTO'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for risotto that I've seen before include "Italian course" , "F" , "You cook it in stock" , "dishy thing!" , "It has roots in Italian rice-based dish" .)
