'just a staple part' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'entire repast with money' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'entire' could be 'whole' (similar in meaning) and 'whole' is found within the answer.
'repast' could be 'meal' (synonyms) and 'meal' is located in the answer.
'money' could be 'bread' (bread is slang for money) and 'bread' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wholemeal bread that I've seen before include "part of healthy diet?" , "food" .)
