Order chaps in some food (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spinach

'some food' is the definition.
(spinach is a kind of food)

'order chaps in' is the wordplay.
'order' is an anagram indicator.
'chaps'+'in'='chapsin'
'chapsin' is an anagram of 'SPINACH'.

(Other definitions for spinach that I've seen before include "Vegetable leaves" , "Popeye's vegetable" , "Popeye the Sailor's vegetable of choice" , "something to eat" , "Leaf vegetable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
