Sweet assistant cannot unfortunately thank you (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
panna cotta
'sweet' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'assistant cannot unfortunately thank you' is the wordplay.
'assistant' becomes 'pa' (personal assistant).
'unfortunately' is an anagram indicator (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'thank you' becomes 'ta' (informal way of saying thank you).
'cannot' with letters rearranged gives 'nnacot'.
'pa'+'nnacot'+'ta'='PANNA COTTA'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
