One or two dairy products (5,6)
'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'two dairy products' is the wordplay.
'two dairy products' can mean two replacements for 'dairy product'.
'dairy product' becomes 'cream' (cream is a kind of dairy product).
'dairy product' becomes 'cheese' (cheese is a kind of dairy product).
'cream'+'cheese'='CREAM-CHEESE'
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
