Pout when ship runs out of creamy dessert (4)
I believe the answer is:
moue
'pout' is the definition.
(I know that pout can be written as moue)
'when ship runs out of creamy dessert' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'when' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mu' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moue that I've seen before include "expression of displeasure" , "Insolent pout" , "Expression of disdain" , "Face" , "Disdainful pout" .)
