Cheese and fruit mostly served with minced beef (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limburger

'cheese' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fruit mostly served with minced beef' is the wordplay.
'fruit' becomes 'lime' (lime is a kind of fruit).
'mostly' means to remove the last letter.
'served with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'minced beef' becomes 'burger' (as in a beefburger).
'lime' with its final letter taken away is 'lim'.
'lim'+'burger'='LIMBURGER'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for limburger that I've seen before include "something very smelly will result" , "Soft Belgian cheese" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
