French food borne by female messenger (7)
I believe the answer is:
gabriel
'messenger' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'french food borne by female' is the wordplay.
'french food' becomes 'brie' (Brie is an example. I am not sure about the 'french' bit.).
'borne by' is an insertion indicator (to bear can mean to carry).
'female' becomes 'gal' (gal is a kind of female).
'brie' placed into 'gal' is 'GABRIEL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gabriel that I've seen before include "Dante - Rossetti, nineteenth century English poet/painter" , "Chief guard of Paradise" , "Archangel who plays the trumpet" , "Archangel and messenger of God" , "Angel of Annunciation" .)
