Spam near nuts or cheese (8)
I believe the answer is:
parmesan
'cheese' is the definition.
(Parmesan is an example)
'spam near nuts' is the wordplay.
'nuts' indicates anagramming the letters (nuts can mean crazy).
'spam'+'near'='spamnear'
'spamnear' anagrammed gives 'PARMESAN'.
'or' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for parmesan that I've seen before include "Spearman (anag) - cheese" , "that's grated" , "Hard dry cheese, often grated" , "Cheese for grating" , "Hard dry Italian cheese" .)
