Answer:
CANEAT
Hint:
Think of a phrase where the first word is a container and the second is something you might do with food—split it in two for the answer.
Explanation:
This clue is a classic "see" reference, meaning the answer is split between this clue and 5-Across. The full phrase formed by combining both answers is likely "CAN EAT," where "CAN" might come from 5-Across and "EAT" from this clue—or vice versa. It’s a simple charade-style hint where the solver pieces together parts from linked clues to get the complete answer.
