For example, add young parsnip tips to dish from Africa? (8)
I believe the answer is:
egyptian
'from africa?' is the definition.
(Egypt is an African country)
'for example add young parsnip tips to dish' is the wordplay.
'for example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'add' says to put letters next to each other.
'tips' indicates taking the first letters (tip can refer to the top end of something).
'to dish' becomes 'tian' (I have seen 'Baked dish' mean 'tian' so perhaps 'dish' could also mean 'tian').
The initial letters of 'young parsnip' is 'yp'.
'eg'+'yp'+'tian'='EGYPTIAN'
(Other definitions for egyptian that I've seen before include "Strange tiny page for the nationality" , "Strange peaty gin drunk by this nationality?" , "Eg, native of Cairo" , "Tiny page, oddly, for the nationality" , "Nationality of citizen of Cairo" .)
