Pickle serving (5)
I believe the answer is:
spear
'pickle serving' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for spear that I've seen before include "Weapon to throw" , "Primitive weapon" , "Javelin or harpoon" , "pierce with this?" , "Shafted weapon for throwing or thrusting" .)
