Later time for meals or food generally (4)
I believe the answer is:
eats
'later time for meals' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'food generally' is the wordplay.
'food' becomes 'eat' (I've seen this in other clues).
'generally' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'eat'+'s'='EATS'
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eats that I've seen before include "Seat (anag.)" , "bits of food" , "snacks" , "Commonly, they eliminate" , "Food (slang)" .)
