Bootlegger's breakfast? (3)
I believe the answer is:
egg
'breakfast?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'bootlegger's' is the wordplay.
'EGG' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egg that I've seen before include "Poached item?" , "brick is a good one" , "Over-easy breakfast item?" , "Poacher's requisite" , "It comes before or after the chicken?" .)
