Initially, neither of us is hard to feed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nourish

'to feed' is the definition.
(nourishing is a kind of feeding)

'initially neither of us is hard' is the wordplay.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
'of us' becomes 'our' (I've seen this before).
'hard' becomes 'h'.
The initial letter of 'neither' is 'n'.
'n'+'our'+'is'+'h'='NOURISH'

(Other definitions for nourish that I've seen before include "Feed - encourage to develop" , "Nurture, sustain" , "Feed, sustain" , "[OPPOSITE OF] starve" , "Provide with sustenance for growth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
