Ignore stain that’s ruined cutlery (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
eating irons
'cutlery' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'ignore stain that's ruined' is the wordplay.
'that's ruined' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ignore'+'stain'='ignorestain'
'ignorestain' with letters rearranged gives 'EATING IRONS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for eating irons that I've seen is " What's placed by plate".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
