Fruit flavour - peeled cantaloupe? (7)
I believe the answer is:
tangelo
'fruit' is the definition.
(tangelo is a kind of fruit)
'flavour peeled cantaloupe?' is the wordplay.
'flavour' becomes 'tang' (synonyms).
'peeled' indicates the central letters.
'cantaloupe?' becomes 'melon' (cantaloupe is a kind of melon).
The central letters of 'melon' are 'elo'.
'tang'+'elo'='TANGELO'
(Other definitions for tangelo that I've seen before include "Hybrid fruit; eat long (anag.)" , "Citrus hybrid - goal net (anag)" , "Citrus fruit hybrid" , "Mixed fruit" , "sharp cross" .)
