Sorts a salad for Sunday lunches (6)
I believe the answer is:
roasts
'sunday lunches' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'sorts a salad' is the wordplay.
'salad' indicates an anagram (salad can refer to a mixture).
'sorts'+'a'='sortsa'
'sortsa' is an anagram of 'ROASTS'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roasts that I've seen before include "Cooks meat in oven" , "Has a go at" , "traditional Sunday food" , "gets very hot" , "Cooks in dry heat" .)
