Nearly sick after fast food for vegetarians? (6)
I believe the answer is:
lentil
'food for vegetarians?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'nearly sick after fast' is the wordplay.
'nearly' means to remove the last letter.
'sick' becomes 'ill' (similar in meaning).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'fast' becomes 'lent' (I've seen this before).
'ill' with its final letter taken away is 'il'.
'il' after 'lent' is 'LENTIL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lentil that I've seen before include "'Seed, pulse (6)'" , "Food stuff" , "Edible seed of bean plant" , "Vegetarian food" , "High-protein pulse" .)
