Nuns drained bubbly to suppress yen for large meal (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
mother teresa
If this is the answer I cannot explain how the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mother teresa that I've seen before include "Nobel Laureate" , "Blessed nun" , "Celebrated Calcutta nun" , "1 across winner of Nobel Peace Prize, 1979" .)
