Strange story about European seafood delicacy (6)
I believe the answer is:
oyster
'seafood delicacy' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'strange story about european' is the wordplay.
'strange' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'story' anagrammed gives 'oystr'.
'oystr' enclosing 'e' is 'OYSTER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oyster that I've seen before include "Secretive individual" , "Succulent shellfish" , "Type of mollusc" , "bit of chicken meat" , "Pearl-producing bivalve" .)
