Politician in uneasy truce over teatime treat (7)
I believe the answer is:
crumpet
'teatime treat' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'politician in uneasy truce' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'uneasy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'truce' is an anagram of 'cruet'.
'mp' inserted into 'cruet' is 'CRUMPET'.
'over' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crumpet that I've seen before include "Old nut" , "Toasted teacake" , "Breakfast" , "Muffin" , "Something eaten toasted and buttered" .)
