Food from Escoffier (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scoff

'food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from escoffier' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SCOFF' is hidden in the letters of 'escoffier'.

(Other definitions for scoff that I've seen before include "Jeer - eat quickly" , "Jeer; eat greedily" , "Speak contemptuously or drink informally" , "Speak scornfully; eat" , "Eat like a pig" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
