Two-pound tomahawk steak, for instance?
Answer:
JUMBOENTREE
Hint:
Think of a menu item that’s extra-large and often shared—like a massive cut of meat.
Explanation:
This clue plays on the idea of a "two-pound tomahawk steak," which is a massive, oversized menu item—hence "jumbo." The answer combines "jumbo" (meaning extra large) with "entrée" (a main dish), forming a single word. The "for instance" hints that this is just one example of a big meal, not the only possibility. It’s a straightforward charade-style clue where the parts of the answer are right in the wording.
