Urges parasites to produce kitchen tool? (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
egg slice
'produce kitchen tool?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'urges parasites' is the wordplay.
'urges' becomes 'eggs' (I've seen this in other clues).
'parasites' becomes 'lice' (lice are parasitic insects).
'eggs'+'lice'='EGG-SLICE'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for egg slice that I've seen is " Kitchen utensil".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
