Sausage and tea to keep a pilot refreshed (9)
I believe the answer is:
chipolata
'sausage' is the definition.
(I know that chipolata is a type of sausage)
'tea to keep a pilot refreshed' is the wordplay.
'tea' becomes 'cha' (cha is a type of tea).
'to keep' indicates putting letters inside.
'refreshed' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'pilot'='apilot'
'apilot' with letters rearranged gives 'ipolat'.
'cha' placed around 'ipolat' is 'CHIPOLATA'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for chipolata that I've seen before include "Type of sausage" , "banger" , "Party snack" , "Small thin sausage" .)
