Creep off to get some food (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crepe

'some food' is the definition.
(crepe is a kind of food)

'creep off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'creep' with letters rearranged gives 'CREPE'.

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for crepe that I've seen before include "Crinkly fabric and French pancake" , "Finely wrinkled fabric" , "French dish" , "Crinkled fabric - black armband - thin pancake" , "One fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
