Everyman's after snack every so often, and wine (4)
I believe the answer is:
saki
'wine' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'everyman's after snack every so often' is the wordplay.
'everyman' becomes 'i' (where 'Everyman' is the setter of the crossword).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'every so often' indicates alternate letters.
The alternating letters of 'snack' are 'sak'.
'i' after 'sak' is 'SAKI'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for saki that I've seen before include "Japanese rice alcohol - British short story writer" , "refreshment for Orientals" , "Literary pseudonym of H. H. Munro" , "Rice < monkey" , "Pseudonymous English writer" .)
