Two rams possibly eating fruitcake and other food (9,6)
I believe the answer is:
butternut squash
'food' is the definition.
(butternut squash is a kind of food)
'two rams possibly eating fruitcake and other' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'fruitcake' could be 'nut' (I've seen this before) and 'nut' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for butternut squash that I've seen is " Fruit".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
