Exotic produce – spouse reduced a lot of damage bringing equipment round (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
kiwi fruit
'exotic produce' is the definition.
'kiwi fruit' can be an answer for 'produce' (kiwi fruit is a kind of produce). I am not sure about the 'exotic' bit.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kiwi fruit that I've seen before include "Seedy customer" , "Chinese gooseberry" .)
