All Ed ordered was spoon (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ladle

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

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

'was' is the link.

(Other definitions for ladle that I've seen before include "Large long-handled spoon" , "Perhaps stock holder" , "Long-handled spoon for serving soup" , "Big spoon" , "Long-handled spoon for moving liquids" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
