Long piece of peel? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strip

I believe this is a double definition.

'long piece' is the first definition.
(long strip of material)

'peel?' is the second definition.
(I know that peel is a more specific form of the action strip)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for strip that I've seen before include "Thin piece" , "Plunder" , "Tear off" , "Ribbon" , "Band; unclothe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
