Is it strikingly sweet? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
cane sugar
'sweet?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for cane sugar that I've seen is " Form of sucrose".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
