Ham may be sweet (4)
I believe the answer is:
corn
This might be a double definition.
'ham' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'sweet' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'may be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for corn that I've seen before include "Maize" , "Painful affliction" , "Painful foot problem" , "Trite jokes" , "Cereal grass" .)
