Here in Paris nobody goes for starters of some cake (5)
I believe the answer is:
icing
'some cake' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'here in paris nobody goes for starters' is the wordplay.
'here in paris' becomes 'ici' ('here' in French).
'for starters' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'nobody goes' is 'ng'.
'ici'+'ng'='ICING'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for icing that I've seen before include "Cake-topper" , "Deposit" , "Top cake layer" , "Attractive addition or bonus, as on cake" , "Possibly the nicest part of the cake" .)
