Fruit and a soft white cheese? No thanks! (7)
I believe the answer is:
apricot
'fruit' is the definition.
(type of fruit)
'a soft white cheese? no thanks' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'soft' could be 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano') and 'p' is found in the answer.
'no' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apricot that I've seen before include "shade" , "Yellowish fruit like a small peach" , "Juicy stone-fruit, orange-pink when ripe" , "Juicy fruit" , "Fruit from a tropic" .)
