Meal that, for Spooner, needed something alcoholic (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

packed lunch

I believe this is a double definition.

'meal' is the first definition.
(type of meal)

'for spooner needed something alcoholic' is the second definition.
(Spoonerism of 'lacked punch')

'that' is the link.

(Other definitions for packed lunch that I've seen before include "Cold meal (eg, taken to school)" , "Food carried on a day trip" , "Ready-prepared midday meal in container" , "Meal to be carried" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
