Note where people dance and what they might eat (8)
I believe the answer is:
meatball
'note' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'people dance and what they might eat' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'dance' could be 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance) and 'ball' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'meat' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meatball that I've seen before include "faggot" , "portion of food" , "Something to savour" , "Rissole of beef, pork etc" , "Part of dish" .)
