Mark with date daringly showing leg but not breast (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
dark meat
'breast' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'mark with date daringly showing leg but not' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'mark' is 'arkm' which is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'date' is 'deat' which is present in the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
