Meeting with milk producer in balance uneasily cut short (4-1-4)
I believe the answer is:
tete-a-tete
'meeting' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Small meeting' mean 'tete a tete' so perhaps 'meeting' could also mean 'tete a tete')
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tete-a-tete that I've seen before include "Private conversation between two French people" , "Informal chat" , "One-to-one meeting" , "Private couple's conversation" , "Private meeting" .)
