German style of feeding trough (6)
I believe the answer is:
manger
'feeding trough' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'german style' is the wordplay.
'style' is an anagram indicator (style can mean to shape or design).
'german' is an anagram of 'MANGER'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for manger that I've seen before include "German (anag)" , "makeshift bed" , "Trough for horse or cattle food" , "Crib" , "Feeding trough (with 16?)" .)
