Point me out to supply pepper (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pimento

'pepper' is the definition.
(pimiento is a type of pepper)

'point me out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'point'+'me'='pointme'
'pointme' is an anagram of 'PIMENTO'.

'to supply' is the link.

(Other definitions for pimento that I've seen before include "Allspice - top mine (anag)" , "Type of pepper" , "Spicy berries" , "Vegetable" , "Plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
