Eggs the Bard said wasted on the general (7)
I believe the answer is:
caviare
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'eggs' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the bard said wasted on the general' is the second definition.
('twas caviare to the general' - Hamlet )
(Other definitions for caviare that I've seen before include "Expensive delicacy" , "Roe as delicacy" , "Sturgeon's roe" , "eggs that can be expensive" , "Avarice (anag)" .)
