Crossword Genius

Mess food? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hash

I believe this is a double definition.

'mess' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'food?' is the second definition.
(hash is a kind of food)

(Other definitions for hash that I've seen before include "Minced meat and vegetables - a mess!" , "Recycled food" , "Meat dish or hallucinogen" , "Drug" , "number provided by American" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
