He’s brought in minced meat, as before (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
the same
'before' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'he's brought in minced meat' is the wordplay.
'brought in' is an insertion indicator.
'minced' is an anagram indicator.
'meat' is an anagram of 'tame'.
'hes' placed within 'tame' is 'THE SAME'.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for the same that I've seen is " Identical - unchanged".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
