Holding his dish and the pot (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hashish

'the pot' is the definition.
(pot can informally mean hashish)

'holding his dish' is the wordplay.
'holding' is an insertion indicator.
'dish' becomes 'hash' (hash is a kind of dish).
'his' inserted inside 'hash' is 'HASHISH'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for hashish that I've seen before include "Pot" , "Resinous product of hemp smoked as drug" , "Dope" , "Grass" , "Hemp hallucinogen" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
