These Europeans shun Italian cooking (11)
I believe the answer is:
lithuanians
'these europeans' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'shun italian cooking' is the wordplay.
'cooking' is an anagram indicator (cook can mean to falsify or distort).
'shun'+'italian'='shunitalian'
'shunitalian' with letters rearranged gives 'LITHUANIANS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
