Butter or margarine, eg (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spread

This clue is a double definition.

'butter' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'margarine eg' is the second definition.
(margarine is a kind of spread)

(Other definitions for spread that I've seen before include "Land in America" , "expansion?" , "Extend - banquet" , "Disseminate through padres" , "Broaden - drapes (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
