Husband leaving kitchen having been cooked English kipper? (7)
I believe the answer is:
necktie
'kipper?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'husband leaving kitchen having been cooked english' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'leaving' is a deletion indicator.
'having been cooked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'kitchen' with 'h' taken out is 'kitcen'.
'kitcen' with letters rearranged gives 'neckti'.
'neckti'+'e'='NECKTIE'
(Other definitions for necktie that I've seen before include "Male dress item (US)" , "one may get collared!" , "Item worn round collar (mainly US)" , "clothing accessory from America" , "Fashion accessory - cite Ken (anag)" .)
