Ate without said goulash being scorned (9)
I believe the answer is:
disdained
'being scorned' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'ate without said goulash' is the wordplay.
'ate' becomes 'dined' (dining is a kind of eating).
'without' means one lot of letters goes inside another ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'goulash' indicates an anagram (goulash is a type of stew or mixture).
'said' is an anagram of 'sdai'.
'dined' placed around 'sdai' is 'DISDAINED'.
(Another definition for disdained that I've seen is " Scorned".)
