Oregano sprinkled over the middle of meals? It’s best avoided! (2-2,4)
I believe the answer is:
no-go area
'oregano sprinkled over the middle of meals? it's best avoided' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'oregano sprinkled over the middle of meals? it's best' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'oregano' is 'nogoare' which is present in the answer.
'best' could be 'a' and 'a' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for no-go area that I've seen before include "Region where entry is dangerous, impossible, or forbidden" , "Place where entry is dangerous or forbidden" , "District that is barred to all or certain people" , "Forbidden zone" , "Region that's dangerous or to which entry is forbidden" .)
