How week begins, with caviar for the president (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

monroe

'president' is the definition.
(I know that Monroe is a president)

'how week begins with caviar' is the wordplay.
'how week begins' becomes 'mon' (short for Monday).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'caviar' becomes 'roe' (fish eggs).
'mon'+'roe'='MONROE'

'for the' is the link.

(Other definitions for monroe that I've seen before include "Marilyn . . . . . ., tragic Hollywood icon" , "No more the blond film star" , "5th US president, James" , "FILMSTAR" , "See 3" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
