Nice meal to keep a girl quiet (4)
I believe the answer is:
dish
'nice meal' is the definition.
'dish' can be an answer for 'meal' (a dish is a particular meal). I'm not certain of the 'nice' bit.
'keep a girl quiet' is the wordplay.
'keep a girl' becomes 'di' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'quiet' becomes 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet).
'di'+'sh'='DISH'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dish that I've seen before include "Container for serving food" , "Scotch" , "something in the oven?" , "Ruin" , "course" .)
