Food - allow cute recipe after shipping hazard (7,7)
I believe the answer is:
iceberg lettuce
'food' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'allow cute recipe after shipping hazard' is the wordplay.
'allow' becomes 'let' (synonyms).
'recipe' is an anagram indicator.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'shipping hazard' becomes 'iceberg' (I've seen this before).
'cute' is an anagram of 'tuce'.
'let'+'tuce'='lettuce'
'lettuce' put after 'iceberg' is 'ICEBERG LETTUCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iceberg lettuce that I've seen before include "Maybe lacking taste, leaves parts" , "Plant" .)
