Platform has porridge on list (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
bird table
'platform' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'porridge on list' is the wordplay.
'porridge' becomes 'bird' (I've seen this before).
'on' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'list' becomes 'table' (list can mean a table or chart).
'bird'+'table'='BIRD-TABLE'
'has' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bird table that I've seen before include "Surface off which our feathered friends dine" , "Structure in the garden to feed ... squirrels!" , "garden item" , "where food is put out" , "Garden platform" .)
