When I am ordering sandwiches rejecting salad (7)
I believe the answer is:
romaine
'salad' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'when i am ordering sandwiches rejecting' is the wordplay.
'sandwiches' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the solution is sandwiched in by the clue).
'rejecting' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'rejected' mean this).
'eniamor' is hidden within 'when i am ordering'.
'eniamor' back-to-front is 'ROMAINE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for romaine that I've seen before include "Variety of lettuce" , "lettuce in America" , "lettuce in the US" , "Type of lettuce - I arm one (anag)" , "Cos lettuce" .)
