Portion of quail leg -- a luxury that could be banned (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

illegal

'be banned' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'portion of quail leg a luxury that' is the wordplay.
'portion of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ILLEGAL' can be found hidden inside 'quail leg a luxury that'.

'could' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for illegal that I've seen before include "Felonious" , "Contraband" , "Against the rules" , "Ignoring certain acts" , "Black" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
