Recalled hit performed by parent with actor - it's kind of salty (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
parma ham
'kind of salty' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'recalled hit performed by parent with actor' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'hit' could be 'par' (parring is a kind of hitting) and 'par' is located in the answer.
'parent' could be 'ma' (ma can mean mum or mother) and 'ma' is present in the answer.
'actor' could be 'ham' (ham actor is a kind of actor) and 'ham' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'it's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parma ham that I've seen before include "Uncooked Italian meat" , "one cured in Italy?" .)
