Ross

I believe the answer is:

oat

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">meal starter</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for oat that I've seen before include "Basis of porridge" , "Cereal grass" , "Cereal plant" , "Cereal (singular)" , "Food grain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Chronicle of Higher Education, the Jonesin', the Wall Street Journal, the USA Today, the L.A. Times Magazine, the L.A. Times Daily, The Washington Post and the L.A. Times Sunday.
