Not a sausage, fight to eat dry dish (8)
I believe the answer is:
omelette
'dish' is the definition.
(omelette is a kind of dish)
'not a sausage fight to eat dry' is the wordplay.
'not a sausage' becomes 'o' (informal term for nothing at all, so 0).
'fight' becomes 'melee' (I have seen 'Confused fight' mean 'melee' so perhaps 'fight' could also mean 'melee').
'to eat' indicates putting letters inside.
'dry' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation for teetotal).
'melee' placed around 'tt' is 'melette'.
'o'+'melette'='OMELETTE'
(Other definitions for omelette that I've seen before include "Beaten-egg dish" , "One must be egged" , "One takes beating" , "Smashed eggs" , "Simple egg dish" .)
