Scoffing my cake or crackers? No answer (7)
I believe the answer is:
mockery
'scoffing' is the definition.
(I know that scoffing can be written as mockery)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mockery that I've seen before include "Travesty" , "Ridicule" , "Derision" .)
