Team up to cook raw rice? (7)
I believe the answer is:
aircrew
'team up' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'cook raw rice?' is the wordplay.
'cook' is an anagram indicator.
'raw'+'rice'='rawrice'
'rawrice' is an anagram of 'AIRCREW'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aircrew that I've seen before include "Flight staff" , "flyers" , "Staff manning a plane" , "Flying personnel" , "Flight personnel" .)
