27a penny's splendid spread (8) ?r?p?i?g. so obviously dripping if that only meant spread. dripping could spread disease (in more than one sense). or wrapping or worst erupting

dear nearly ampviewer,
but how's it spread? sexually transmitted? drippings, i suspect, are themselves spread on bread in lieu of butter. maybe when the bread is used to mop them up.

Beef dipping was a popular spread in the 1950's and 60s.
