'this makes meal?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.

'possibly tell if' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'tell'+'if'='tellif'
'tellif' is an anagram of 'FILLET'.

Can you help me to learn more?
