Cocoa substitute (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carob

'cocoa substitute' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for carob that I've seen before include "Bean, a choc. substitute" , "Arabian tree with brownish-purple pods" , "Chocolate substitute pod" , "St John's bread" , "Evergreen tree with edible pods" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, The Sun, the Newsday and the Jonesin'.
