North African food company seen by American twice (8)
I believe the answer is:
couscous
'north african food' is the definition.
'couscous' can be an answer for 'food' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'north african' bit.
'company seen by american twice' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'seen by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'american' becomes 'US' (United States).
'twice' says to double the letters.
'co'+'us'='cous'
'cous' doubled is 'COUSCOUS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for couscous that I've seen before include "Kind of African semolina" , "North African dish of crushed durum wheat" , "Semolina grains" , "food" , "African dish of crushed and steamed wheat" .)
