Cut the bacon I cooked (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aitchbone

'cut' is the definition.
(aitchbone is a kind of cut)

'the bacon i cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'bacon'+'i'='thebaconi'
'thebaconi' is an anagram of 'AITCHBONE'.

(Other definitions for aitchbone that I've seen before include "Cut of meat" , "cut of beef" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
