Adopt snug sleeping position under bench used for measuring ingredients? (10)
I believe the answer is:
tablespoon
'adopt snug sleeping position under' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'bench used for measuring ingredients?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'bench' could be 'table' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'table' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'spoon' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tablespoon that I've seen before include "Piece of cutlery" , "One serves with this" , "Item of cutlery" , "server" .)
