Dish having bad reek: bite into it! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kedgeree

'dish' is the definition.
(kedgeree is a kind of dish)

'bad reek bite into it' is the wordplay.
'bad' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bite' becomes 'edge' (I've seen this before).
'into it' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'reek' anagrammed gives 'kree'.
'kree' enclosing 'edge' is 'KEDGEREE'.

'having' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for kedgeree that I've seen before include "Rice dish with boiled eggs and flaked fish" , "something to eat" , "Rice, fish and egg dish" , "'Dish of rice, eggs and flaked fish (8)'" , "Food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
