Eric prepared some food (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rice

'some food' is the definition.
(rice is a food)

'eric prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates an anagram.
'eric' with letters rearranged gives 'RICE'.

(Other definitions for rice that I've seen before include "Grains from the paddy field" , "Staple cereal" , "Food crop" , "It grows in paddy-fields" , "Grain from the paddy field" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
