She doesn't appear to eat contents of bowl (2-4)
I believe the answer is:
no-show
'she doesn't appear' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'eat contents of bowl' is the wordplay.
'eat' becomes 'nosh' (noshing is a kind of eating).
'contents of' means to look at the middle letters (letters inside the word).
The middle letters of 'bowl' are 'ow'.
'nosh'+'ow'='NO-SHOW'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for no-show that I've seen before include "Failure to appear" , "Person who fails to cancel -- who's on (anag)" , "One failing to appear as booked" , "Non-attender" , "One not keeping an appointment - who's on (anag)" .)
