Dave always has meat (4)
I believe the answer is:
veal
'meat' is the definition.
(veal is a kind of meat)
'dave always has' is the wordplay.
'has' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'VEAL' is hidden in the letters of 'dave always'.
(Other definitions for veal that I've seen before include "Calf flesh" , "what the meat course may be" , "meat, R [ROSE] maybe" , "Type of meat" , "Calf meat" .)
