What could create starter of escargots with cream (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
off-white
'cream' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'what could create starter of escargots with' is the wordplay.
'what' becomes 'off' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'could create' is an anagram indicator.
'starter of' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'escargots' is 'e'.
'e'+'with'='ewith'
'ewith' is an anagram of 'white'.
'off'+'white'='OFF-WHITE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for off-white that I've seen before include "Creamy?" , "Very slightly yellowish or grey" , "Slightly-tinted colour" , "Colour such as cream or bone" , "Very pale tint" .)
