Shout about stewed eel in the salad perhaps (6)
I believe the answer is:
celery
'the salad perhaps' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'shout about stewed eel' is the wordplay.
'shout' becomes 'cry' (synonyms).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'stewed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'eel' with letters rearranged gives 'ele'.
'cry' enclosing 'ele' is 'CELERY'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for celery that I've seen before include "Its leaf stalks are used in salads or as a vegetable" , "Edible leaf stalks" , "Salad plant, parsley family" , "The crunch matter for slimmer" , "Perhaps sticks on dining table" .)
