Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyeteeth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'if they're desirable say this is what you'll give for them' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is a plural noun.

'inspect choppers' is the wordplay.
'inspect' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in another clue).
'choppers' becomes 'teeth' (I've seen this before).
'eye'+'teeth'='EYETEETH'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyeteeth that I've seen before include "Organs of sight in the mouth?" , "they're sharp" , "Canine bones in upper jaw, under the optic" , "Four pointed structures in the mouth" , "choppers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
