Products of an animal coming to a sticky end in Ireland (5)
I believe the answer is:
offal
This clue could be a double definition.
'products of an animal' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'a sticky end in ireland' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'coming to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for offal that I've seen before include "Edible heart, liver and tongue, for instance" , "Tripe, sweetbreads" , "Internal organs and entrails as food" , "Animal entrails and internal organs as rubbish" , "Less edible parts of animal, entrails and organs" .)
