Make old-fashioned dish and two egg starters (4)
I believe the answer is:
date
'make old-fashioned' is the definition.
'date' can be an answer for 'old-fashioned' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'make' bit.
'dish and two egg starters' is the wordplay.
'starters' suggests taking the first letters (the letters which start the words).
The initial letters of 'dish and two egg' is 'DATE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for date that I've seen before include "To reveal age" , "See 12" , "Girlfriend perhaps" , "retrieved from palmtop?" , "Specified day" .)
