Appearing to have food (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

3

4

pea

'food' is the definition.
(I know that pea is a food ingredient)

'appearing to have' is the wordplay.
'to have' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PEA' is hidden within 'appearing'.

(Other definitions for pea that I've seen before include "Legume" , "Tiny stone" , "registered by princess in bed" , "Climbing plant; vegetable" , "Vegetable in a whistle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
