Creator of Adam and Eve eating original fruit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gourd

'fruit' is the definition.
(gourd is a kind of fruit)

'creator of adam and eve eating original' is the wordplay.
'creator of adam and eve' becomes 'God' (God created Adam and Eve).
'eating' indicates putting letters inside.
'original' becomes 'ur' (prefix meaning the earliest or original).
'god' going around 'ur' is 'GOURD'.

(Other definitions for gourd that I've seen before include "Pumpkin, e.g" , "Fleshy fruit" , "Bottle, dishcloth, plant" , "Plant related to the pumpkin, squash and cucumber" , "Fruit akin to pumpkin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
