Doctor parries bishop, a bit of a pig? (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
spare rib
'a pig?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'doctor parries bishop a bit of' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'a bit of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'bishop' is 'b'.
'parries' is an anagram of 'spareri'.
'spareri'+'b'='SPARE-RIB'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spare rib that I've seen before include "it's hardly a chop)" , "Meat on the bone, perhaps in barbecue sauce" , "Only a little pork on this bone" , "God gave Adam" , "Bony pork serving" .)
