Pickle or jam in army dining room (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mess

I believe this is a triple definition!

'pickle' is the first definition.
(both can mean a difficult situation)

'or' is a link.

'jam' is the second definition.
(both can mean a difficult situation)

'in' is a link.

'army dining room' is the third definition.
(mess can mean a room for eating food)

(Other definitions for mess that I've seen before include "Service dining-area" , "Untidy muddle" , "Where those who serve eat" , "pickle" , "Army dining place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
