Savoury pie not started by kick-off in Tranmere (5)
I believe the answer is:
tasty
'savoury' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'pie not started by kick-off in tranmere' is the wordplay.
'pie' becomes 'pasty' (pasty is a kind of pie).
'not started' means to remove the first letter.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'kick-off in' indicates taking the first letters (the letter which begins or kicks off the word).
The first letter of 'tranmere' is 't'.
'pasty' with its first letter removed is 'asty'.
'asty' put after 't' is 'TASTY'.
(Other definitions for tasty that I've seen before include "Like nice grub" , "Appetizing" , "Pleasantly flavoursome" , "Scrumptious" , "Savoury" .)
