Tiger cub selected for shaving struggles and leaves (7,7)
I believe the answer is:
iceberg lettuce
'tiger cub selected for shaving' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'struggles and leaves' is the wordplay.
'struggles' becomes 'lettuce' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'leaves' becomes 'iceberg' (leafy lettuce).
'lettuce' after 'iceberg' is 'ICEBERG LETTUCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iceberg lettuce that I've seen before include "Plant" , "Maybe lacking taste, leaves parts" .)
