Sick of France after drinking European tea, say (4)
I believe the answer is:
meal
'tea say' is the definition.
(I know that afternoon tea is a type of meal)
'sick of france after drinking european' is the wordplay.
'sick of france' becomes 'mal' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'after drinking' is an insertion indicator.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'mal' enclosing 'e' is 'MEAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meal that I've seen before include "Eg, lunch" , "Something to eat" , "Edible part of grain or pulse" , "Flour; food" , "Grain ground to powder" .)
