Source of food decoration using garlic improbably left unadopted (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
icing sugar
'source' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'food decoration using garlic improbably left unadopted' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'food' could be 'sugar' (sugar is a kind of food) and 'sugar' is present in the answer.
'decoration' could be 'icing' (icing is a kind of decoration) and 'icing' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for icing sugar that I've seen before include "Cake covering" , "Sweet powder used on cakes etc" , "Sweet stuff used for cake topping" .)
