Nip out, leaving Minneapolis in conveyance to find pudding (8)
I believe the answer is:
semolina
'pudding' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'nip out leaving minneapolis in conveyance' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to find' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for semolina that I've seen before include "Wheat used for milk puddings" , "Hard grains of wheat in puddings and pasta" , "Hard particles of wheat used in puddings etc" , "One's mail (anag.)" , "A lemon is used in the pudding, strangely" .)
