time

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

'porridge' is the definition.
(porridge is slang for time in prison)

'bond eating his superior' is the wordplay.
'bond' becomes 'tie' (both can mean a connection).
'eating' indicates putting letters inside.
'his superior' becomes 'm' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tie' placed around 'm' is 'TIME'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for time that I've seen before include "See 12" , "Measure of duration" , "'. . . and tide wait for no man'" , "Procrastination is the thief of ." , "Hours clocked up?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
