Meal of a sort circulating in large belly (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
pot roast
'meal' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a sort circulating in large belly' is the wordplay.
'circulating' indicates an anagram.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'large belly' becomes 'pot' (as in a pot belly).
'a'+'sort'='asort'
'asort' anagrammed gives 'troas'.
'troas' inserted inside 'pot' is 'POT-ROAST'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pot roast that I've seen before include "joint preparation" , "Dish of braised meat" , "Slowly cooked meat" , "Meat cooked in a container" .)
