Urge Patrick to produce pavlova base (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
egg white
'produce pavlova base' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'urge patrick' is the wordplay.
'urge' becomes 'egg' (as in egging someone on).
'patrick' becomes 'white' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'egg'+'white'='EGG-WHITE'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egg white that I've seen before include "Meringue ingredient" , "Albumen, not the yolk" , "Albumen, transparent ovum content" , "Cake ingredient" .)
