Eats possibly, as some in France outside home (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dines

'eats possibly' is the definition.
(to dine is to eat dinner)

'some in france outside home' is the wordplay.
'some in france' becomes 'des' ('some' in French).
'outside' indicates putting letters inside.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'des' placed around 'in' is 'DINES'.

'as' is the link.

(Another definition for dines that I've seen is " Eats".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
