Not well, turned to tuck into simple food options (4,2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bill of fare

'food options' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'not well turned to tuck into simple' is the wordplay.
'not well' becomes 'ill' ('ill' is the opposite to 'well').
'turned' becomes 'off' ('off' can be a synonym of 'turned').
'to tuck into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'simple' becomes 'bare' ('bare' can be a synonym of 'simple').
'ill'+'off'='illoff'
'illoff' put inside 'bare' is 'BILL OF FARE'.

(Other definitions for bill of fare that I've seen before include "Menu" , "food options" , "choice of food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
