Breakfast item that's a load of rubbish? (6)
I believe the answer is:
waffle
'breakfast item' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for waffle that I've seen before include "that you may have at breakfast, say" , "blather" , "Breakfast item - go on and on" , "Crisp pancake with indents on both sides - talk aimlessly" , "Cake with grid-like surface" .)
