Unwanted bones in meat dish (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
spare ribs
'meat dish' is the definition.
(meat product)
'unwanted bones' is the wordplay.
'unwanted' becomes 'spare' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bones' becomes 'ribs' (rib is a kind of bone).
'spare'+'ribs'='SPARE-RIBS'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spare ribs that I've seen before include "food" , "Supporters after free" , "barbecue bites" .)
