Juicy food cooked to a crisp (8)
I believe the answer is:
apricots
'juicy food cooked to a crisp' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'cooked to a crisp' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'to'+'a'+'crisp'='toacrisp'
'toacrisp' anagrammed gives 'APRICOTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apricots that I've seen before include "Capri sot makes the fruit" , "Tip Oscar to get the fruits" , "Orange fruit" , "trees" , "Rio pacts about the fruits" .)
