Stew when between husbands (4)
I believe the answer is:
hash
'stew' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'when between husbands' is the wordplay.
'when' becomes 'as'.
'between' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'husbands' becomes 'hh' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'as' going inside 'hh' is 'HASH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hash that I've seen before include "meat and potato dish" , "dish of meat and potatoes" , "that's smoked a lot" , "Recooked dish - quite a jumble" , "A finely chopped mixture of meat and potatoes" .)
