Badger Trim firm taking a fair amount of the bar out of the vegetarian restaurant (8)
I believe the answer is:
broccoli
'bar out of the vegetarian restaurant' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'badger trim firm taking a fair amount of the' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'firm' could be 'co' (a firm is a company) and 'co' is found within the answer.
'amount' could be 'li' (li is a kind of amount) and 'li' is found within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for broccoli that I've seen before include "Green/purplish vegetable" , "Variety of cabbage, green heads" , "Green vegetable - producer of Bond films" , "Sort of green cauli" , "A variety of brassica" .)
