Stuff to chew with a heavenly filling and sweet topping (7)
I believe the answer is:
custard
'sweet topping' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'stuff to chew with a heavenly filling' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'stuff' could be 'tar' (I have seen 'sticky stuff' mean 'tar' so perhaps 'stuff' could also mean 'tar') and 'tar' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for custard that I've seen before include "Type of apple" , "Egg/milk bake" , "Yellow sauce" , "-- Pie; -- apple" , "Sweet sauce made with milk and eggs" .)
