Vegetable new to land (6)
I believe the answer is:
sweden
'land' is the definition.
(Sweden is an example)
'vegetable new' is the wordplay.
'vegetable' becomes 'swede' (swede is a kind of vegetable).
'new' becomes 'n'.
'swede'+'n'='SWEDEN'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for sweden that I've seen before include "Nobel's country" , "ditto" , "4's neighbour" , "Home of ABBA, Volvo and smorgasbord" , "Stockholm is the capital" .)
