Examples of mixed spice given to public toilet (9)
I believe the answer is:
specimens
'examples' is the definition.
(I know this)
'mixed spice given to public toilet' is the wordplay.
'mixed' is an anagram indicator.
'given to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'public toilet' becomes 'men's' (men's is a kind of public toilet).
'spice' anagrammed gives 'speci'.
'speci'+'mens'='SPECIMENS'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for specimens that I've seen before include "Representative samples" , "Pisces men make prime examples" , "Samples of Pisces men" .)
