Cuts of meat, tart, starters of kedgeree, salad (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flanks

'cuts of meat' is the definition.

'tart starters of kedgeree salad' is the wordplay.
'tart' becomes 'flan' (I've seen this before).
'starters of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'kedgeree salad' is 'ks'.
'flan'+'ks'='FLANKS'

(Other definitions for flanks that I've seen before include "Military sides" , "The sides of an animal" , "Sides of body between ribs and hips" , "Haunches" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
