Disease giving a taste of France? (4)
I believe the answer is:
gout
I believe this is a double definition.
'disease' is the first definition.
(gout is a kind of disease)
'a taste of france?' is the second definition.
(gout is french for taste)
'giving' is the link.
(Other definitions for gout that I've seen before include "Toe-swelling disease" , "Painful inflammation of the big toe" , "Disease affecting joints" , "Painful inflammation of the foot" , "Painful ailment, often of the foot" .)
