Having a bit of grub to eat is fine (5)
I believe the answer is:
great
'is fine' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for great that I've seen before include "Important; immense" , "Enormous" , "Storage container" , "Brunel's third and last steamship" , "Big, large" .)
