Dog set out to find heavy nutrition? (6)
I believe the answer is:
stodge
'nutrition?' is the definition.
(I know that stodge is a type of nutrition)
'dog set out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'dog'+'set'='dogset'
'dogset' is an anagram of 'STODGE'.
'to find heavy' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stodge that I've seen before include "Sticky stuff" , "Food that's hard to digest" , "treacle pudding?" , "Heavy meal" , "Steamed pudding" .)
