Struggle to eat what’s laid for breakfast? One would if it’s bacon (6)
I believe the answer is:
veggie
'breakfast? one would if it's bacon' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'struggle to eat what's laid' is the wordplay.
'struggle' becomes 'vie' (I've seen this before).
'to eat' is an insertion indicator.
'what's laid' becomes 'egg' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'vie' enclosing 'egg' is 'VEGGIE'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for veggie that I've seen before include "Eater of no animal products" , "I'm anti-meat" , "Eater of fruits and grains and nuts" .)
