M Eastern pears in recipe (7)
I believe the answer is:
persian
'm eastern' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'pears in recipe' is the wordplay.
'recipe' indicates an anagram.
'pears'+'in'='pearsin'
'pearsin' with letters rearranged gives 'PERSIAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for persian that I've seen before include "Iranian language" , "Long-haired cat" , "From Iran?" , "Type of cat or carpet" , "Breed of cat" .)
