Poached eggs first, no cereal, the bacon last of all (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stolen

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

'eggs first no cereal the bacon last of all' is the wordplay.
'last of all' says to take the final letters.
The last letters of 'eggs first no cereal the bacon' are 'STOLEN'.

(Other definitions for stolen that I've seen before include "` `The ... Child' ' (Yeats)" , "Taken unlawfully" , "Robbed" , "Illegally taken" , "Filched" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
