One Conservative initially eating best frozen food (8)
I believe the answer is:
icecream
'frozen food' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'one conservative initially eating best' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'conservative' becomes 'C' (UK political abbreviation).
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
'best' becomes 'cream' (as in 'the cream of the crop').
The initial letter of 'eating' is 'e'.
'i'+'c'+'e'+'cream'='ICECREAM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for icecream that I've seen before include "Sweet" , "dessert" , "afters" .)
