Store food in besieged town, king having fled (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
meat safe
'store' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
I also know that 'store' relates to this answer.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meat safe that I've seen before include "Ventilated food store" , "store cupboard" , "Ventilated cupboard for storing pork, beef etc" .)
