Comfort food and drink (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cheer

This clue is a double definition.

'comfort' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'food and drink' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for cheer that I've seen before include "Encourage - applaud" , "party refreshment?" , "Inspirit" , "Jolly" , "hurrah" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
