Meal starter (3)

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