Hardly the place for fresh meat? (6)
I believe the answer is:
oldham
'hardly the place' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'fresh meat?' is the wordplay.
'fresh' becomes 'old' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'meat?' becomes 'ham' (ham is a kind of meat).
'old'+'ham'='OLDHAM'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oldham that I've seen before include "Town near Manchester" , "Town north-east of Manchester" , "Northern town" , "Town NE of Manchester, Churchill once its MP" , "Pennine town in Greater Manchester" .)
