Food arrives on recycled black tiles (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

comestibles

'food' is the definition.
(I know that food can be written as comestibles)

'arrives on recycled black tiles' is the wordplay.
'arrives' becomes 'comes' (coming is a kind of arriving).
'on' means one lot of letters goes inside another (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'recycled' is an anagram indicator.
'black' becomes 'b' (as in pencil classifications).
'b'+'tiles'='btiles'
'btiles' anagrammed gives 'stible'.
'comes' placed around 'stible' is 'COMESTIBLES'.

(Another definition for comestibles that I've seen is " Timeless cob (anag) -- food".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
