Comparatively unbalanced means of presenting items for consumption (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skewer

This clue is a double definition.

'comparatively unbalanced' is the first definition.
(skew can mean wonky or unbalanced)

'means of presenting items for consumption' is the second definition.
(food may be placed on a skewer)

(Other definitions for skewer that I've seen before include "Wooden or metal mat pin" , "Metal pin for cooking" , "Brochette" , "Small spit for meat" , "Meat-holding pin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
