Where ham etc kept, mum eats a few sandwiches
I believe the answer is:
meat safe
'where ham etc kept' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'mum eats a few sandwiches' is the wordplay.
'sandwiches' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the solution is sandwiched in by the clue).
'MEAT-SAFE' can be found hidden inside 'mum eats a few'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meat safe that I've seen before include "store cupboard" , "Ventilated food store" , "Ventilated cupboard for storing pork, beef etc" .)
