### Clue: Eve's material contrib­ution to Chinese dish? (5,3)
### Answer: SPARE RIB 
 ### Explanation: Definition: Eve's material
Strange. The reference to Eve's creation from Adam's spare rib is obvious, but I would not have put spare rib down as a particularly Chinese dish; and 'material' seems a little odd – either that or I am missing something. *On reflection, I think most of my objections fade if this is read as a double definition, as underlined.
