Joe made macaroni and cheese finally (9)
I believe the answer is:
americano
'joe' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'made macaroni and cheese finally' is the wordplay.
'made' is an anagram indicator.
'and' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'cheese' is 'e'.
'macaroni' after 'e' is 'emacaroni'.
'emacaroni' is an anagram of 'AMERICANO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for americano that I've seen before include "drink" , "Style of coffee" , "Espresso diluted with hot water" .)
