Son visiting island state for a bite to eat (6)
I believe the answer is:
samosa
'a bite to eat' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'son visiting island state' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'visiting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'island state' becomes 'samoa'.
's' inserted inside 'samoa' is 'SAMOSA'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for samosa that I've seen before include "Indian dish" , "Triangular Indian turnover" , "Asian food" , "Indian fried pastry" , "Savoury turnover" .)
