Old diva wanting bread but no tea (5)
I believe the answer is:
patti
This could be a double definition.
'old diva' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'bread but no tea' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'wanting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for patti that I've seen before include "Soprano" , "Adelina -, nineteenth to twentieth century sopr." , "Adelina --, opera singer (1843-1919)" , "Italian singer" .)
