Gossip call - 'What's on the hob? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
gas ring
'hob?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'gossip call 'what's on' is the wordplay.
'gossip' becomes 'gas' (I've seen this before).
'call' becomes 'ring' (telephone call).
''what's on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'gas'+'ring'='GAS-RING'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for gas ring that I've seen is " Saucepan heater".)
