Cooked lamb? None for this peer of the realm (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nobleman

'this peer of the realm' is the definition.
(noblemen are peers of the realm)

'cooked lamb? none' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'lamb'+'none'='lambnone'
'lambnone' anagrammed gives 'NOBLEMAN'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nobleman that I've seen before include "Male aristocrat" , "High-ranking male" , "I have a title" , "Peer (of realm)" , "Titled person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
