Goes off eating ends of edible dishes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tureens

'dishes' is the definition.
(tureen is a kind of dish)

'goes off eating ends of edible' is the wordplay.
'goes off' becomes 'turns' (I've seen this before).
'eating' indicates putting letters inside.
'ends of' means to remove the middle letters.
'edible' with its centre removed is 'ee'.
'turns' going around 'ee' is 'TUREENS'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
