obeyed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accepted orders' is the definition.
'obeyed' can be an answer for 'orders' (I have seen 'Followed orders ' mean 'obeyed' so perhaps 'orders' could also mean 'obeyed'). I'm not certain of the 'accepted' bit.

'egg and bacon starter getting ogled' is the wordplay.
'egg' becomes 'o' (an 'o' resembles an egg).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'starter' says to take the initial letters.
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'ogled' becomes 'eyed' (I've seen this before).
The initial letter of 'bacon' is 'b'.
'o'+'b'+'eyed'='OBEYED'

'for' is the link.
