Meat-filled crackers etc as breakfast option? (7)
I believe the answer is:
crumpet
'breakfast option?' is the definition.
'crumpet' can be an answer for 'breakfast' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'option?' bit.
'meat-filled crackers etc' is the wordplay.
'meat' becomes 'rump' (rump is a kind of meat).
'filled' indicates putting letters inside.
'crackers' indicates an anagram (informal term for mad).
'etc' with letters rearranged gives 'cet'.
'rump' placed within 'cet' is 'CRUMPET'.
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crumpet that I've seen before include "Light, soft yeast cake" , "Griddle cake" , "Toasted teacake" , "hot stuff?" , "Something eaten toasted and buttered" .)
