Stewed and pickled isn’t OK... confused? (6)
I believe the answer is:
stinko
'stewed' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'pickled isn't ok confused?' is the wordplay.
'pickled' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'confused?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'confused' mean this).
'isnt' is an anagram of 'stin'.
'ok' with letters rearranged gives 'ko'.
'stin'+'ko'='STINKO'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for stinko that I've seen before include "worse for wear" , "Drunk" , "one over the eight?" , "Tight" .)
