Meal, no starter, with chop and punch (8)
I believe the answer is:
uppercut
'punch' is the definition.
(I know that Uppercut is a punch)
'meal no starter with chop' is the wordplay.
'meal' becomes 'supper' (supper is a kind of meal).
'no starter' means to remove the first letter.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'chop' becomes 'cut' (I've seen this before).
'supper' with its first letter removed is 'upper'.
'upper'+'cut'='UPPERCUT'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for uppercut that I've seen before include "Punch to opponent's chin from below" , "Swinging blow in boxing" , "one must take it on the chin" , "Boxing punch delivered vertically" , "A vertical punch to chin delivered by boxer" .)
