Deli temporarily stocks cream (5)
I believe the answer is:
elite
'cream' is the definition.
(as in the cream of the crop)
'deli temporarily stocks' is the wordplay.
'stocks' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ELITE' can be found hidden inside 'deli temporarily'.
(Other definitions for elite that I've seen before include "A privileged or superior social group" , "Aristocratic" , "Top group f" , "Privileged or posh group" , "Group enjoying superior status" .)
