Feast is meagre -- Lent possibly? (10)
I believe the answer is:
regalement
'feast' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'meagre lent possibly?' is the wordplay.
'possibly?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'possibly' mean this).
'meagre'+'lent'='meagrelent'
'meagrelent' anagrammed gives 'REGALEMENT'.
'is' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
