Grand Polish food (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grub

'food' is the definition.
(grub is a kind of food)

'grand polish' is the wordplay.
'grand' becomes 'g' ('G' can be a synonym of 'grand').
'polish' becomes 'rub' (polish meaning rub to make shiny).
'g'+'rub'='GRUB'

(Other definitions for grub that I've seen before include "Caterpillar - food" , "Dig (up); hack writers' Street" , "food, commonly" , "Eats - larva" , "Food (informal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
