Appearing to have food (3)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

3

4

pea

'food' is the definition.
(pea is a kind of food)

'appearing to have' is the wordplay.
'to have' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'PEA' is hidden in the letters of '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.
