Object, picking pea out of meat pie (4)
I believe the answer is:
item
This could be a double definition.
'object picking pea' is the first definition.
'item' can be an answer for 'object' (both can mean a thing). I'm not certain of the 'picking pea' bit.
'out of meat pie' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for item that I've seen before include "Individual thing" , "'One thing, poor mite (4)'" , "Two people considered together (informal)" , "Two in a romantic relationship?" , "Article (on list or in news)" .)
