Imply American rejected scrambled eggs and toast for starters (7)
I believe the answer is:
suggest
'imply' is the definition.
(suggesting is a kind of implying)
'american rejected scrambled eggs and toast for starters' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'us' (**).
'rejected' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'scrambled' indicates an anagram.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'for starters' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'toast' is 't'.
'us' written backwards gives 'su'.
'eggs' with letters rearranged gives 'gges'.
'su'+'gges'+'t'='SUGGEST'
(Other definitions for suggest that I've seen before include "Propose or drop a hint" , "Offer advice or idea" , "Insinuate" , "Give an impression of" , "Island off Java" .)
