She takes the crust of a loaf – in the larder? (5)
I believe the answer is:
shelf
'the larder?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'she takes the crust of a loaf' is the wordplay.
'takes' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the crust of a loaf' becomes 'lf' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'she'+'lf'='SHELF'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shelf that I've seen before include "Flesh (anag.)" , "books supporter" , "Rock ledge; underwater bank" , "Ledge for holding things" , "Flat surface for holding things" .)
