Bush wants French cheese, right? (5)
I believe the answer is:
brier
'bush' is the definition.
(brier is a kind of bush)
'french cheese right?' is the wordplay.
'french cheese' becomes 'brie' (I've seen this before**).
'right?' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'brie'+'r'='BRIER'
'wants' is the link.
(Other definitions for brier that I've seen before include "Thorny bush like the wild rose" , "smoking pipe" , "It may be smoked" , "Prickly shrub" , "plant" .)
