Blokes in depression love hot pepper (7)
I believe the answer is:
pimento
'hot pepper' is the definition.
'pimento' can be an answer for 'pepper' (pimiento is a type of pepper). I'm unsure of the 'hot' bit.
'blokes in depression love' is the wordplay.
'blokes' becomes 'men' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'depression' becomes 'pit' (pit is a kind of depression).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'men' going inside 'pit' is 'piment'.
'piment'+'o'='PIMENTO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pimento that I've seen before include "Plant" , "Vegetable" , "Allspice - top mine (anag)" , "Jamaica pepper" , "Type of pepper" .)
