Playing gig, we munch sticky food (7,3)
I believe the answer is:
chewing gum
'sticky food' is the definition.
'chewing gum' can be an answer for 'food' (chewing gum is a kind of food). I'm not sure about the 'sticky' bit.
'playing gig we munch' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates an anagram.
'gig'+'we'+'munch'='gigwemunch'
'gigwemunch' is an anagram of 'CHEWING-GUM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for chewing gum that I've seen is " Something to masticate".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
