Dish with seafood: chicken to follow (8)
I believe the answer is:
cocktail
'dish with seafood' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'chicken to follow' is the wordplay.
'chicken' becomes 'cock' (cock is a kind of chicken).
'to follow' becomes 'tail' (both can mean to chase or pursue).
'cock'+'tail'='COCKTAIL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cocktail that I've seen before include "Possibly old-fashioned" , "Manhattan, perhaps" , "Mixed beverage" , "snowball?" , "Mixed alcoholic drink or prawn appetiser" .)
