Pasta turned out of dishes (5)
I believe the answer is:
tapas
'dishes' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'pasta turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' is an anagram indicator (turn out can mean to organise).
'pasta' with letters rearranged gives 'TAPAS'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tapas that I've seen before include "Savoury snacks" , "Spanish bites?" , "Spanish appetiser" , "Small Spanish dishes" , "sort of bar in Benidorm?" .)
