Sorbet we enjoy eating in the middle (7)
I believe the answer is:
between
'in the middle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sorbet we enjoy eating' is the wordplay.
'eating' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'BETWEEN' is hidden in the letters of 'sorbet we enjoy'.
(Other definitions for between that I've seen before include "In the interval" , "In the space separating (items)" , "In the intermediate part" , "In the middle (of)" , "Flanked" .)
