Select cut sounds perfect for outdoor dining (6)
I believe the answer is:
picnic
'select cut' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for picnic that I've seen before include "Informal excursion with meal in open air" , "Take a meal outside" , "Eat out" , "Piece of cake!" , "Meal eaten outside" .)
