Food before wine recalled as stew (7)
I believe the answer is:
chowder
'stew' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'food before wine recalled' is the wordplay.
'food before' becomes 'chow' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'wine' becomes 'red' (red wine is a kind of wine).
'recalled' is a reversal indicator.
'red' reversed gives 'der'.
'chow'+'der'='CHOWDER'
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chowder that I've seen before include "Thick seafood soup" , "Clam stew, soup" , "clammy" , "Thick fish stew" , "Rich seafood soup" .)
