Some wraps
Answer:
STOLES
Hint:
These elegant shoulder coverings are often made of silk or fur and worn for warmth or fashion at formal events.
Explanation:
"Some wraps" is a clever play on words where "wraps" hints at both clothing and food. Here, it’s pointing to "stoles," which are long, elegant wraps worn around the shoulders—like a shawl or scarf. The clue avoids the food meaning entirely, relying on the less common but valid definition of "wrap" as a garment. It’s a straightforward double meaning once you think beyond sandwiches.
