An MP in court: delicious prospect? (9)
I believe the answer is:
camembert
'delicious prospect?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'an mp in court' is the wordplay.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'mp' becomes 'member' (Member of Parliament).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'a'+'member'='amember'
'amember' going inside 'ct' is 'CAMEMBERT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for camembert that I've seen before include "For something to eat" , "French food" , "dairy product" , "Rich soft French cheese" , "French produce" .)
