It makes a man hot and sweet (11)
I believe the answer is:
gingerbread
'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 a link between them that I can't see?
'it makes a man hot' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'man' could be 'red' and 'red' is present in the leftover letters.
'hot' could be 'in' (both can mean fashionable) and 'in' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gingerbread that I've seen before include "Spiced cake made with treacle" , "Spicy cake" , "Type of biscuit, often human shaped" , "Cake - for single parents?" , "Fancy decoration" .)
