Something sugary on dish, honey (7,3)
I believe the answer is:
sweetie pie
'honey' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'something sugary on dish' is the wordplay.
'something sugary' becomes 'sweetie' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'dish' becomes 'pie' (I've seen this before).
'sweetie'+'pie'='SWEETIE-PIE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sweetie pie that I've seen before include "Precious" , "dear" .)
