Isn't prepared to invest the lot, anyhow, in an English export (7)
I believe the answer is:
stilton
'an english export' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'isn't prepared to invest the lot anyhow' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to invest' indicates putting letters inside.
'anyhow' indicates an anagram.
'isnt' is an anagram of 'stin'.
'lot' anagrammed gives 'lto'.
'stin' enclosing 'lto' is 'STILTON'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stilton that I've seen before include "Blue 8 across" , "Dairy product" , "Blue 4 across" , "English cheese, usually veined" , "Rich, blue-veined cheese" .)
