English philosopher, d. 1626 (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bacon

(Other definitions for bacon that I've seen before include "Cured meat from pig" , "Cured back or side of pork" , "Francis --, Irish painter" , "Thin slices of smoked ham" , "What could be treated by frier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
