Man at lunchtime gets pancake (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chapati

'pancake' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Indian pancake ' mean 'chapati' so perhaps 'pancake' could also mean 'chapati')

'man at lunchtime' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'chap' (I've seen this in other clues).
'lunchtime' becomes 'I' (one o'clock is I on a clock with Roman numerals).
'chap'+'at'+'i'='CHAPATI'

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for chapati that I've seen before include "Indian pancake" , "I may be taken in with Indian" , "Indian food" , "Sort of bread" , "Unleavened bread of the subcontinent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
