Ham may be sweet (4)
I believe the answer is:
corn
This clue could be a double definition.
'ham' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'sweet' is the second definition.

'may be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for corn that I've seen before include "Maize" , "Painful affliction" , "Painful foot problem" , "Trite jokes" , "Cereal grass" .)
