A meaty Chopin piece (4)
I believe the answer is:
chop
'a meaty chopin piece' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'chopin piece' is the wordplay.
'chopin' becomes 'cho' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'piece' becomes 'p' (abbreviation for Pawn).
'cho'+'p'='CHOP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chop that I've seen before include "Cut into small pieces" , "Thick slice of meat including rib" , "Cut of meat; hack" , "Piece of meat - the sack" , "Karate punch" .)
