Day accountants at Canterbury, say, make stew? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fricassee

'stew?' is the definition.
(fricassee is a kind of stew)

'day accountants at canterbury say' is the wordplay.
'day' becomes 'fri' (abbreviation for Friday).
'accountants' becomes 'CAs' (CA means chartered accountant).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'canterbury say' becomes 'see' (see can mean an area associated with a bishop).
'fri'+'cas'+'see'='FRICASSEE'

'make' is the link.

(Other definitions for fricassee that I've seen before include "Dish of fried meat in thick sauce" , "eat this?" , "Stew of meat in thick white sauce" , "chicken feed!" , "Dish of stewed pieces of meat in a thick sauce" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
