Crossword Genius

Eating our dinner, eating fruit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gourd

'fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'eating our dinner eating' is the wordplay.
'eating' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'GOURD' can be found hidden inside 'eating our dinner'.

(Other definitions for gourd that I've seen before include "Large fruit" , "Plant related to the pumpkin, squash and cucumber" , "Bottle, dishcloth, plant" , "Hard-rinded fruit often used as container" , "Fleshy fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
