Fat and foolish said Poe (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adipose

'fat' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'foolish said poe' is the wordplay.
'foolish' indicates anagramming the letters.
'said'+'poe'='saidpoe'
'saidpoe' anagrammed gives 'ADIPOSE'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for adipose that I've seen before include "Fat-storing (tissue)" , "Of tissue, fatty in substance" , "Of animal, fat, fatty" , "Is a dope fat?" , "Like a sort of fat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
