Pieces of meat, drink and cocktail during the weekend? (6)
I believe the answer is:
steaks
'pieces of meat' is the definition.
(a steak is a piece of meat)
'drink and cocktail during the weekend?' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'tea' (tea is a drink).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'cocktail' becomes 'K' (the end letter or tail of the word 'cocktail').
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the weekend?' becomes 'SS' (abbreviations for Saturday and Sunday).
'tea'+'k'='teak'
'teak' put into 'ss' is 'STEAKS'.
(Other definitions for steaks that I've seen before include "They can be round, T-bone or fillet" , "Cuts of meat" .)
