Meat caked in grass given away (8)
I believe the answer is:
revealed
'given away' is the definition.
('reveal' can be a synonym of 'give away')
'meat caked in grass' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'meat' could be 'veal' (veal is a kind of meat) and 'veal' is located in the answer.
'grass' could be 'reed' (type of grass plant) and 'reed' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for revealed that I've seen before include "Made known to others" , "Like the religion" , "Exposed" , "Discovered" , "Shown" .)
