English girl said to be delicious thing (6)
I believe the answer is:
eclair
'to be delicious thing' is the definition.
'english girl' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'girl' becomes 'clair' ().
'e'+'clair'='ECLAIR'
'said' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eclair that I've seen before include "Finger-shaped cream-filled cake of choux pastry" , "Long chocolate cake for Claire" , "Food" , "Bakery item" , "A long choux cake" .)
