I believe the answer is:

have lunch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dropped article inside loin and leg' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'eat meat' is the wordplay.
'eat' becomes 'have' (I've seen this in another clue).
'meat' becomes 'lunch' (lunch meat is a kind of meat).
'have'+'lunch'='HAVE LUNCH'

'having' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
