All Ed ordered was serving utensil (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ladle

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

'utensil' is the definition.
(I know that ladle is a type of kitchen utensil)

'all ed ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
'all'+'ed'='alled'
'alled' anagrammed gives 'LADLE'.

'was serving' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ladle that I've seen before include "Deep-bowled spoon" , "Large spoon with long handle" , "give out" , "one in 10 [GRUEL] ?" , "Big spoon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
