I believe the answer is:

meet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'interest hunters' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'mention of meat' is the wordplay.
'mention of' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'mentioning' mean this).
'meat' sounds like 'MEET'.

'may' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meet that I've seen before include "Fitting - encounter" , "Hunt gathering" , "sporting occasion" , "Come across" , "Bump into" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
