Nutty things to eat? (8)
I believe the answer is:
crackers
This clue is a double definition.
'nutty' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'things to eat?' is the second definition.
(crackers are a type of biscuit)
(Other definitions for crackers that I've seen before include "Mad - biscuits" , "Crazy - (American) biscuits" , "Thin biscuits for cheese" , "one may find them on the table tomorrow" , "Christmas items" .)
