Urges monk to avoid popular English breakfast dish? (4,8)
I believe the answer is:
eggs benedict
'breakfast dish?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'urges monk' is the wordplay.
'urges' becomes 'eggs' (to egg someone on is to urge them to do something).
'monk' becomes 'benedict' (St Benedict, founder of Order of Saint Benedict).
'eggs'+'benedict'='EGGS BENEDICT'
'to avoid popular english' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eggs benedict that I've seen before include "Breakfast dish with hollandaise sauce" , "snack" , "food" , "Dish served on toast" , "something for breakfast?" .)
