Trying exotic Eskimo rolls, initially (7)
I believe the answer is:
irksome
'trying' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'exotic eskimo rolls initially' is the wordplay.
'exotic' indicates an anagram.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'rolls' is 'r'.
'eskimo'+'r'='eskimor'
'eskimor' is an anagram of 'IRKSOME'.
(Other definitions for irksome that I've seen before include "Smoker I find annoying" , "bugging" , "Tediously annoying" , "Troublesome, vexing" , "Burdensome and tedious" .)
