I Cryptic Please Explain.

5d. Who is about to look on ounce with scraps of edible refreshment? (3,6) Answer is Zoo Keeper.
Please make it quite simple as I really do struggle with this crossword.

[teacher1]

Look at the answer in reverse.

[teacher1]

Don't know where " scraps of edible refreshment " comes into it though.

[Jackdaw33]

I can't account for the second o

[Jackdaw33]

ER at the end

[teacher1]

.... nor me ! ;o(

[Gavmacp]

Keep it simple! For me.

[Psybbo]

Peeler + oz + o

[Psybbo]

Sorry peeker

[frugalfred]

Quite a clever clue, as an ounce is a snow leopard.

[bookbinder]

re = about (as in: re your letter of the 3rd)
peek = look
o = on?
oz = ounce
Turn it all around and you get zoo keeper. That's as far as I can go!

[Jackdaw33]

Oz (ounce) Peek (look) E(dible) R(efreshment) all reversed

[Gavmacp]

Thank you all! I do rather struggle with this paper but I do enjoy some of the setters.

[Jackdaw33]

BB is not quite correct - the ER are the initial letters of Edible Refreshment

[Jackdaw33]

...still unhappy about o for on

[Mamyalynne]

Chambers gives 'O' for 'On'

[bookbinder]

jackdaw33: I stand corrected.
