Is primate able to have a bite? (6)
I believe the answer is:
canape
'a bite?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is primate able' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'primate' could be 'ape' (large primate) and 'ape' is located in the answer.
'able' could be 'can' and 'can' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to have' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for canape that I've seen before include "Savoury titbit" , "Bite-sized party food" , "Small savoury item" , "cocktail treat" , "Tasty morsel, with drinks perhaps" .)
