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' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'kick-off in' suggests taking the first letters (the letter which begins or kicks off the word).
The first letter of 'tranmere' is 't'.
'pasty' with its initial letter taken away 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" .)
