Peninsula that might be Burmese poking into a bit of China (7)
I believe the answer is:
yucatan
'peninsula' is the definition.
(Yucatan is an example)
'burmese poking into a bit of china' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'that might be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yucatan that I've seen before include "Region of Mexico" , "N. Mexican peninsula" , "Mexican peninsula where Mayas lived" , "Alcoholic drink" , "part of Mexico" .)
