Mongrel mutt took cheap condiment (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tomato ketchup

'condiment' is the definition.
(tomato ketchup is a kind of condiment)

'mongrel mutt took cheap' is the wordplay.
'mongrel' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'mutt'+'took'+'cheap'='mutttookcheap'
'mutttookcheap' with letters rearranged gives 'TOMATO KETCHUP'.

(Other definitions for tomato ketchup that I've seen before include "Red sauce" , "Sauce popular with chips" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
