Moi? at dance, starting to scoff rissoles? (9)
I believe the answer is:
meatballs
'rissoles?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'moi? at dance starting to scoff' is the wordplay.
'moi?' becomes 'me' (French, and used for comic effect in English).
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'starting to' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'scoff' is 's'.
'me'+'at'+'ball'+'s'='MEATBALLS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meatballs that I've seen before include "Food - stale lamb (anag)" , "dish?" .)
