English student tucks into cabbage and spicy sausage (7)
I believe the answer is:
saveloy
'spicy sausage' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'english student tucks into cabbage' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'student' becomes 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'tucks into' indicates putting letters inside.
'cabbage' becomes 'savoy' (savoy cabbage is a kind of cabbage).
'e'+'l'='el'
'el' inserted inside 'savoy' is 'SAVELOY'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for saveloy that I've seen before include "Big sausage" , "Type of sausage" , "Spicy sausage" , "One using brains originally" , "Highly seasoned pork sausage - love, say (anag)" .)
