Meat cooked in ovens? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

venison

'meat' is the definition.
(I know that venison is a game meat)

'cooked in ovens' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'in'+'ovens'='inovens'
'inovens' with letters rearranged gives 'VENISON'.

(Other definitions for venison that I've seen before include "Flesh of deer" , "Deer (as food)" , "Type of meat" , "Meat - in ovens (anag)" , "Game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Independent and The Daily Express.
