Striking means of locating milk supplier? (7)
I believe the answer is:
cowbell
'striking means' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'locating milk supplier?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'milk supplier?' could be 'cow' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'cow' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bell' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cowbell that I've seen before include "alarm for rural use?" , "produced neat chime" , "It's heard among Alpine herds" , "Percussion instrument" .)
