Fruit and veg included in diet before run (10,4)
I believe the answer is:
conference pear
'fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'and veg included in diet before run' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
'veg' could be 'pea' (pea is a type of vegetable) and 'pea' is present in the answer.
'before' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
'run' could be 'r' (cricket abbreviation) and 'r' is present 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 conference pear that I've seen before include "Common variety of fruit" , "Type of fruit" , "Dessert fruit" .)
