Physical education instead of food (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peas

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'food' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'physical education instead' is the wordplay.
'physical education' becomes 'pe'.
'instead' becomes 'as' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'pe'+'as'='PEAS'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peas that I've seen before include "Leguminous plants" , "Seeds in a pod" , "Edible seeds" , "Leguminous seeds" , "Seeded vegetables" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
