Pig's ear, pet food? (4,9)
I believe the answer is:
dogs breakfast
'pig's ear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pet food?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'pet' could be 'dog' and 'dog' is found in the answer.
'food?' could be 'breakfast' (breakfast is a kind of food) and 'breakfast' is present in the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dogs breakfast that I've seen before include "Confused mess" , "Total mess" , "Untidy mess (to feed pet?)" , "Mess (food for Fido?)" , "Pig's ear" .)
