After tea-break skilled and fit to be taken in (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eatable

'fit to be taken in' is the definition.
(safe to be taken into the body)

'after tea-break skilled' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'break' indicates an anagram.
'skilled' becomes 'able' (I've seen this before).
'tea' anagrammed gives 'eat'.
'eat'+'able' is 'EATABLE'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for eatable that I've seen before include "Comestible" , "May be consumed" , "OK to swallow" , "Edible" , "Fit for consumption" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
