Is mule cooked as a breakfast dish? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

muesli

'a breakfast dish?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'is mule cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'is'+'mule'='ismule'
'ismule' with letters rearranged gives 'MUESLI'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for muesli that I've seen before include "Breakfast mixture of dry cereals and fruits" , "Breakfast mix of oats, nuts, fruit etc" , "Breakfast mush" , "Mixture of cereals etc" , "Breakfast food of cereal, fruits and nuts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
