Take a spoonful to eat, primarily (5)
I believe the answer is:
taste
'take' is the definition.
(tasting is a kind of taking)
'a spoonful to eat primarily' is the wordplay.
'a spoonful' becomes 'tas' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'primarily' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'to eat' is 'te'.
'tas'+'te'='TASTE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for taste that I've seen before include "Relish or discrimination" , "Decorum" , "Sample the flavour" , "Small sample of food" , "style" .)
