Eat some ragout, a stew (5)
I believe the answer is:
taste
'eat' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'some ragout a stew' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'TASTE' is hidden within 'ragout a stew'.
(Other definitions for taste that I've seen before include "Sensation of flavour" , "Savour in state" , "Fine perception" , "A test (anag)" , "Impression from food" .)
