Picky Chinese diner spotted in Co-op and Asda? (5)
I believe the answer is:
panda
'picky chinese diner' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'in co-op and asda?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'PANDA' is hidden within 'co op and asda'.
'spotted' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for panda that I've seen before include "Bamboo-eating animal" , "Black-and-white bear" , "Chinese bear-like mammal" , "Bear-like mammal of China" , "Raccoon-like animal" .)
