Save member's item on barbecue?
I believe the answer is:
sparerib
'item on barbecue?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'save member's' is the wordplay.
'save' becomes 'spare' (synonyms).
'member' becomes 'rib' (I have seen 'structural member' mean 'rib' so perhaps 'member' could also mean 'rib').
'spare'+'rib'='SPARERIB'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sparerib that I've seen before include "Bony piece of meat" , "Pork snack" , "Cut of pork" , "Trimmed pork piece" , "Cut of meat (from which Eve was created?)" .)
