A lemon is strangely sweet (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

semolina

'sweet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a lemon is strangely' is the wordplay.
'strangely' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'lemon'+'is'='alemonis'
'alemonis' with letters rearranged gives 'SEMOLINA'.

(Other definitions for semolina that I've seen before include "Part of wheat used in puddings" , "Cereal used for puddings" , "dessert" , "Wheat powder" , "Wheat milk pudding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
