Snake I caught in savoury jelly (5)
I believe the answer is:
aspic
'savoury jelly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'snake i caught' is the wordplay.
'snake' becomes 'asp' (asp is a kind of snake).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'asp'+'i'+'c'='ASPIC'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for aspic that I've seen before include "stock production" , "Clear savoury jelly" , "Savoury relish" , "garnish" , "Savoury jelly for coating meats and eggs" .)
