How the hungry slimmer's resolve not to eat it may? (7)
I believe the answer is:
crumble
'may?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crumble that I've seen before include "Break into small fragments" , "Gradually disintegrate" , "Type of pudding - disintegrate" , "Break up - fruit dish" , "Break up - pudding" .)
