Grub they bake badly at the Boar's Head? (5)
I believe the answer is:
kebab
'grub they' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bake badly at the boar's head?' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram (letters in the wrong order).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'head?' indicates taking the first letters (I've seen 'heads of' mean this).
The initial letter of 'boars' is 'b'.
'bake' is an anagram of 'keba'.
'keba'+'b'='KEBAB'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kebab that I've seen before include "Shish dish" , "Turkish meat dish" , "spiked food" , "Small pieces of meat and veg cooked on a skewer" , "Grilled or roasted dish; b-bake (anag.)" .)
