'danish?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'risque word that raises a smile' is the wordplay.
'risque' becomes 'blue' (synonyms).
'word that raises a smile' becomes 'cheese' (say cheese!).
'blue'+'cheese'='BLUE CHEESE'
