Makes modest spread of deli goods (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
smoked meats
'deli goods' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'makes modest spread' is the wordplay.
'spread' indicates anagramming the letters.
'makes'+'modest'='makesmodest'
'makesmodest' anagrammed gives 'SMOKED MEATS'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
