Some toast Tory admitting defeat (7)
I believe the answer is:
crouton
'some toast' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'tory admitting defeat' is the wordplay.
'tory' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for conservative).
'admitting' is an insertion indicator.
'defeat' becomes 'rout' (routing is a kind of defeating).
'con' placed around 'rout' is 'CROUTON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crouton that I've seen before include "Small cube of toasted bread" , "little bit of bread" , "Small piece of toasted bread in soup or salad" , "Fried garnish for soup" , "One's in the soup" .)
