Spread prohibitions to include English food (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
butter beans
'food' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'spread prohibitions to include english' is the wordplay.
'spread' becomes 'butter' (butter is a spread).
'prohibitions' becomes 'bans' ('ban' can be a synonym of 'prohibition').
'to include' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'bans' placed around 'e' is 'beans'.
'butter'+'beans'='BUTTER-BEANS'
Can you help me to learn more?
