Pastry costs for types of salt (9)
I believe the answer is:
tartrates
'types of salt' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'pastry costs' is the wordplay.
'pastry' becomes 'tart' (type of pastry).
'costs' becomes 'rates' (rate is a kind of cost).
'tart'+'rates'='TARTRATES'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for tartrates that I've seen is " acidic salts".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
