Eat a lot around the middle of the month (5)
I believe the answer is:
munch
'eat' is the definition.
(I know that munch is a type of bite)
'a lot around the middle of the month' is the wordplay.
'a lot' becomes 'much' (synonyms).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'the middle of the month' becomes 'n' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'much' going around 'n' is 'MUNCH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for munch that I've seen before include "Norwegian painter" , "Chomp" , "who's popular in the gallery?" , "Chew steadily and vigorously" , "Eat noisily" .)
