Finds pancake covered with stock mostly revolting (7)
I believe the answer is:
locates
'finds' is the definition.
(I know this)
'pancake covered with stock mostly revolting' is the wordplay.
'pancake' becomes 'taco' (I've seen this before).
'covered with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'stock mostly' becomes 'sel' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'revolting' says the letters should be written backwards.
'taco' put within 'sel' is 'setacol'.
'setacol' written backwards gives 'LOCATES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for locates that I've seen before include "runs to earth" , "spots" .)
