Maiden to consume flesh (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meat

'flesh' is the definition.
(flesh is meat)

'maiden to consume' is the wordplay.
'maiden' becomes 'm' (cricket abbreviation).
'to consume' becomes 'eat' (eating is a kind of consuming).
'm'+'eat'='MEAT'

(Other definitions for meat that I've seen before include "Beef, chicken, pork etc" , "The flesh of animals as food" , "Ham, pork, chicken etc" , "Food for carnivores" , "17 [ESSENCE]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
