Gather good healthy meat? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glean

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

'good healthy meat?' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'healthy meat?' becomes 'lean' (**).
'g'+'lean'='GLEAN'

(Other definitions for glean that I've seen before include "Gather (grain) after a harvest" , "Gather scraps" , "Angle (anag.)" , "Garner" , "Collect grain (or information?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
