Leave fruit first for dessert (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
banana split
'dessert' is the definition.
(banana split is a kind of dessert)
'leave fruit first' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'leave' could be 'split' (I've seen this before) and 'split' is found within the answer.
'fruit' could be 'anana' (I've seen this before) and 'anana' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'b' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for banana split that I've seen before include "sweet food" , "Ice cream dish" , "Fruit and ice cream dessert" , "Ice-cream dish" .)
