Female gets out of distressed camouflage to make dish of mashed avocado (9)
I believe the answer is:
guacamole
'female' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for guacamole that I've seen before include "Mashed avocado dish" , "Avocado dip" , "tasty dip" , "Avocado-based dish" , "Mexican dish" .)
