Scolding cook about egg change? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
gold coins
'change?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'scolding cook about egg' is the wordplay.
'cook' indicates an anagram.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'egg' becomes 'o' (an 'o' resembles an egg).
'scolding' anagrammed gives 'goldcins'.
'goldcins' placed around 'o' is 'GOLD COINS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
