Sticks in the pie dish? (7)
I believe the answer is:
rhubarb
This might be a double definition.
'sticks in the pie' is the first definition.
The definition and answer 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?
'dish?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rhubarb that I've seen before include "Meaningless talk" , "Sour sticks eaten as fruit after cooking" , "Plant stalks eaten as fruit" , "Rheum rhaponticum" , "murmurings in the theatre" .)
