Eastern staple (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rice

'eastern staple' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rice that I've seen before include "Asian staple food" , "Seeds from the paddy field" , "Grain for food" , "Curry side dish" , "Basmati, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
