Cables are wrapped around vegetable (9)
I believe the answer is:
calabrese
'vegetable' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cables are wrapped around' is the wordplay.
'wrapped around' is an anagram indicator.
'cables'+'are'='cablesare'
'cablesare' with letters rearranged gives 'CALABRESE'.
(Other definitions for calabrese that I've seen before include "Variety of broccoli" , "Vegetable" .)
