Sorry, Veem, have been vaguely puzzling over this, I'm guessing that 'first bite' = B?

That's correct. So you have the first letter. The rest ought to be easy .............

Bananas? 'first bite before an' => ban, but I can't work out why 'EU one' should be 'anas'.

Bananas?
Ooops. FFS beat me by 6 minutes. Why didn't I see that? Don't get anas either unless it's one in a language like Bulgarian, Hungarian, Serbian whatever.

This week, I am mostly being extremely thick - B (first bite) + ANANAS (an EU one, ie a European fruit, French for pineapple is 'ananas').

Not spooky at all, it's just that we both have a convoluted mindset.
Assuming we're right, and I can't see how we can not be right (or "I can't see how we can't not be right", now there's some tortured English) I can't see how we're wrong...
Chaps into fashion, say? (7)
