Appreciate stylish invitation from dinner host? (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
dig in
'invitation from dinner host?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to consumption as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'appreciate stylish' is the wordplay.
'appreciate' becomes 'dig' (to dig something is to appreciate it).
'stylish' becomes 'in'.
'dig'+'in'='DIG IN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dig in that I've seen before include "Start to eat" , "Begin eating heartily" , "Enjoy the food" , "Begin eating (informal)" , "protect himself" .)
