Strips for breakfast (5)
I believe the answer is:
bacon
'strips for breakfast' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for bacon that I've seen before include "Eg, rashers" , "Food - essayist - painter" , "Cured back or side of pork" , "Pig meat N essayist" , "Meat in rashers" .)
