Crossword Genius

Concerning earlier meal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repast

'meal' is the definition.
(repast can mean a meal)

'concerning earlier' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'earlier' becomes 'past' (I've seen this in another clue).
're'+'past'='REPAST'

(Other definitions for repast that I've seen before include "Something to eat" , "Feast, meal" , "A formal sort of meal" , "Food - tapers (anag)" , "Prates about meal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
