Just over three people taking to pepper (7)
I believe the answer is:
pimento
'pepper' is the definition.
(pimiento is a type of pepper)
'just over three people taking to' is the wordplay.
'just over three' becomes 'pi' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'people' becomes 'men' (men are people).
'taking' says to put letters next to each other.
'pi'+'men'+'to'='PIMENTO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pimento that I've seen before include "Plant" , "Sweet red pepper" , "Type of pepper" , "Vegetable" , "Spicy berries" .)
