Food hopper where a chip might go? (4-2-3-4)
I believe the answer is:
toad-in-the-hole
'food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'hopper where a chip might go?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'hopper' could be 'toad' (something that hops) and 'toad' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toad-in-the-hole that I've seen before include "Sausage and batter dish" , "Sausages baked in batter" , "Batter pudding containing sausages" , "Sausages and batter dish" , "Battered sausage" .)
