6 a. Anthony and Cleopatra, for instance, caught newt - someone is bound to make a meal of it (9)

Answer is: LEFTOVERS

Why?

Anthony and Cleopatra = lovers
Eft = newt

LOVERS around EFT (crossword newt, as ide is crossword fish).

Eft ( newt) inside 'lovers'

Hi basil
I'm impressed - they're difficult enough in my mother tongue!

I don't think you will get many chances to use EFT in everyday language - I've only met the word in crosswords (as with IDE, as I mentioned, though coincidentally I've just spoken on the phone to someone with IDE for a surname!)
