that's like some kind of ... backwards inside-out indirect anagram? i don't even. you crazy yanks!
― ledge, Wednesday, 10 October 2012 09:14 (thirteen years ago)
no, not really. anagram identifier is just on the wrong word (imo). anag(divan) = viand = food. i got it easily enough, but then i've been reading tess of the d'urbervilles... (which is the thing that one of the online dictionaries quotes as an example)

one from yesterday's observer:
Youth speaks about contemporary of J. Wayne? (5, 4)
― koogs, Monday, 15 October 2012 15:25 (thirteen years ago)
Salad days but I don't get the j wayne ref...
― ledge, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 08:21 (thirteen years ago)
I think it's an Alan Ladd reference. Says about A Ladd.
― Tim, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 08:25 (thirteen years ago)
Never heard of him! Wonder why the clue didn't just say 'John Wayne', maybe we were meant to think John is too obvious, must be Jeff.
― ledge, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 08:30 (thirteen years ago)
tim otm. and clue said 'j wayne' to match 'a ladd'.
i spent minutes trying to think of answers with 't mix' in them...

Are you going for mixt?
I've certainly heard of Alan Ladd, though I couldn't name a single film of his off the top of my head, and I never would have been able to solve this without a lot of help.
This could go in the strange Wikipedia entries, just for the odd wording:
As with many Hollywood stars, Ladd is sometimes described as either a social adherent to, or member of, the gay subculture.[15]
― Sex Kitten mind control slave (Dan Peterson), Tuesday, 16 October 2012 15:39 (thirteen years ago)
mixt, yes. it's a word! who knew?
(contemporary might be pushing it though, earlier generation)
