Soaking bad bananas to be used in bread? (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
baking soda
'be used in bread?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'soaking bad bananas' is the wordplay.
'bananas' indicates an anagram (bananas can informally mean crazy).
'soaking'+'bad'='soakingbad'
'soakingbad' is an anagram of 'BAKING-SODA'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for baking soda that I've seen before include "possible antacid" , "Common name for sodium bicarbonate" .)
