Escape slang term for French grub (8)
I believe the answer is:
escargot
'term for french grub' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'escape slang' is the wordplay.
'escape' becomes 'esc' (Escape key on a keyboard).
'slang' becomes 'argot' (synonyms).
'esc'+'argot'='ESCARGOT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for escargot that I've seen before include "Edible snail (from Fr.)" , "mollusc, from Paris" , "national delicacy" , "A dish of cooked land snails" , "An edible snail from France" .)
