Meat product in mail as ordered (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salami

'meat product' is the definition.
(I know that salami is a type of cold cut)

'mail as ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mail'+'as'='mailas'
'mailas' with letters rearranged gives 'SALAMI'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for salami that I've seen before include "Food" , "Hooked" , "Garlic- flavoured sausage" , "Cured meat" , "Italian garlic sausage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
