Paddy’s cereal (4)

I believe the answer is:

rice

This clue is a double definition.

'paddy's' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'cereal' is the second definition.
(rice is a kind of cereal)

(Other definitions for rice that I've seen before include "Asian staple food" , "Cereal plant" , "Lyricist Tim - dramatist Elmer" , "Cereal food" , "Cereal grain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
