Where one might find food writers of little talent? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
grub street
'where one might' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'food writers of little talent?' is the wordplay.
'food' becomes 'grub' (grub can informally mean food).
'writers of little talent?' becomes 'street' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'grub'+'street'='GRUB STREET'
'find' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grub street that I've seen before include "Former home of hack writers" , "The world of poor journalists and writers" , "Place for shabby writers" .)
