Highlands resident cooked bangers and legumes occasionally (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
aberdeen angus
'highlands resident' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'cooked bangers and legumes occasionally' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram.
'occasionally' means one should take alternating letters.
The alternate letters of 'legumes' are 'eue'.
'bangers'+'and'+'eue'='bangersandeue'
'bangersandeue' anagrammed gives 'ABERDEEN ANGUS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aberdeen angus that I've seen before include "Black, hornless breed of cattle" , "Scottish beef cattle" , "Farm animal" , "Neat" , "Protein-rich food source" .)
