Possible milk supplier given chips by Scotsman, perhaps (8)
I believe the answer is:
friesian
'possible milk supplier' is the definition.
(Friesian is a type of cow)
'chips by scotsman perhaps' is the wordplay.
'chips' becomes 'fries' (I've seen this before).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'scotsman perhaps' becomes 'Ian' (common Scottish name).
'fries'+'ian'='FRIESIAN'
'given' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for friesian that I've seen before include "Source of beef" , "from Holland" , "Milk producer" , "Black and white dairy cattle" , "Monochrome cow" .)
