Delighted vegetable fed me (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

charmed

'delighted' is the definition.
(I know that delighted can be written as charmed)

'vegetable fed me' is the wordplay.
'vegetable' becomes 'chard' (chard is a kind of vegetable).
'fed' indicates putting letters inside (one word is 'fed' to another).
'chard' going around 'me' is 'CHARMED'.

(Other definitions for charmed that I've seen before include "blessed by fortune" , "Entranced" , "Unusually lucky" , "Enchanted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
