Crossword Genius

Cheese list not out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stilton

'cheese' is the definition.
(stilton is a cheese)

'list not out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'list'+'not'='listnot'
'listnot' with letters rearranged gives 'STILTON'.

(Other definitions for stilton that I've seen before include "Strong blue cheese" , "Lost tin (anag)" , "Dairy product" , "Cheese named after Cambridgeshire town" , "Blue 4 across" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
