Resemble spud with fake cream stuffing (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
take after
'resemble' is the definition.
(I know that take after is a more specific form of the action resemble)
'spud with fake cream stuffing' is the wordplay.
'spud with' becomes 'tater' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'cream' is an anagram indicator (letters blended or creamed into a new order).
'stuffing' indicates putting letters inside.
'fake' is an anagram of 'keaf'.
'tater' placed around 'keaf' is 'TAKE AFTER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for take after that I've seen before include "Favour" , "Resemble, follow in the footsteps of - say a parent" , "Resemble as offspring may parent" , "Resemble or imitate someone, often parent" , "Resemble as child often does parent" .)
