Sighed loudly and good-looking guy brought fries, or salad? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
side dish
'fries or salad?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'sighed loudly and good-looking guy' is the wordplay.
'loudly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (when spoken - not silently).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'good-looking guy' becomes 'dish' (dish can mean an attractive person).
'sighed' is a homophone of 'side'.
'side'+'dish'='SIDE-DISH'
'brought' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for side dish that I've seen before include "something extra, of course" , "Supplementary item at table" , "extra food" , "supplementary course material" , "Accompaniment at mealtime" .)
