Choux pastry item with poor trifle unfortunately ending on plate (11)
I believe the answer is:
profiterole
'choux pastry item' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'poor trifle unfortunately ending on plate' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' is an anagram indicator (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'ending on' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'plate' is 'e'.
'poor'+'trifle'='poortrifle'
'poortrifle' with letters rearranged gives 'profiterol'.
'profiterol'+'e'='PROFITEROLE'
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for profiterole that I've seen before include "something to eat" , "Something sweet" , "Small case of choux pastry with cream filling" , "Sweet thing" , "Cream-filled, chocolate-covered pastry" .)
