Listen: eat less, starting with small cutlery? (9,5)
I believe the answer is:
stainless steel
'cutlery?' is the definition.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stainless steel that I've seen before include "Cutlery material" , "Non-tarnishing metal" , "material that resists corrosion" , "Rust-resistant metal" .)
