European horse consumers adopting British kitchen utensils (10)
I believe the answer is:
eggbeaters
'kitchen utensils' is the definition.
'eggbeaters' can be an answer for 'utensils' (eggbeater is a kind of utensil). I am unsure of the 'kitchen' bit.
'european horse consumers adopting british' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'horse' becomes 'gg'.
'consumers' becomes 'eaters' (eater is a kind of consumer**).
'adopting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'gg'+'eaters'='ggeaters'
'ggeaters' going around 'b' is 'ggbeaters'.
'e'+'ggbeaters'='EGGBEATERS'
