Notice swedes being regularly consumed (3)
I believe the answer is:
see
'notice' is the definition.
(notice can mean to spot or see)
'swedes being regularly consumed' is the wordplay.
'being regularly consumed' indicates alternate letters.
The alternating letters of 'swedes' are 'SEE'.
(Other definitions for see that I've seen before include "Get < court < witness" , "Meet (someone) socially" , "Realize" , "Visualise" , "Perceive; meet (someone)" .)
