Pause and almost sneeze eating unknown soup? (8)
I believe the answer is:
gazpacho
'soup?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pause and almost sneeze eating unknown' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'unknown' could be 'z' (algebra) and 'z' is found within the answer.
'pause' could be 'gap' (I've seen this before) and 'gap' is found in the leftover letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gazpacho that I've seen before include "Spanish vegetable soup served cold" , "Spanish soup, served chilled" , "'Spicy Spanish soup, served cold (8)'" , "Soup appears" , "Chop Gaza chop up for soup" .)
