Food store where a social worker comes in to satisfy curiosity (6)
I believe the answer is:
pantry
'food store' is the definition.
(cupboard for storing food)
'a social worker comes in to satisfy curiosity' is the wordplay.
'a social worker' becomes 'ant' (I've seen this in another clue).
'comes in to' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'satisfy curiosity' becomes 'pry' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ant' inserted inside 'pry' is 'PANTRY'.
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pantry that I've seen before include "Small room or cupboard for storing food" , "Store cupboard" , "Room off the kitchen" , "Food store" , "Type of larder" .)
