What farmer harvests — fellow getting top award? (7)
I believe the answer is:
mangold
'what farmer harvests' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'fellow getting top award?' is the wordplay.
'fellow getting' becomes 'mango' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'top' means to remove the first letter.
'award?' becomes 'LLD' (LLD is an example).
'lld' with its initial letter taken away is 'ld'.
'mango'+'ld'='MANGOLD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mangold that I've seen before include "Beet used to feed stock" , "vegetable" , "Root" .)
