Get a sausage as mail is sorted (6)
I believe the answer is:
salami
'get a sausage as mail is sorted' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'get a sausage as mail is sorted' is the wordplay.
'get' says to put letters next to each other.
'a sausage as' becomes 'sa' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'is sorted' is an anagram indicator.
'mail' is an anagram of 'lami'.
'sa'+'lami' is 'SALAMI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for salami that I've seen before include "One kind of tactics" , "Garlic- flavoured sausage" , "Savoury snack" , "Preserved meat sausage" , "Highly spiced sausage" .)
