Stew made like this on the American frontier? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
wild west
'stew made like this on the american frontier?' is the definition.
'Wild West' can be an answer for 'on the american frontier?' (historically the western frontier region of the US). I am unsure of the rest of the definition.
'stew made like this on' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates anagramming the letters.
'like this' becomes 'wild' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'stew' with letters rearranged gives 'west'.
'west' put after 'wild' is 'WILD WEST'.
(Other definitions for wild west that I've seen before include "Cowboys' home?" , "Where "cowboys and Indians" was first played?" , "Untamed part of America where cowboy films are set" , "Lawless area of early US settlement" , "US frontier land" .)
