Refined men chose eel spread (5,6)

I believe the answer is:

lemon cheese

'spread' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'refined men chose eel' is the wordplay.
'refined' is an anagram indicator.
'men'+'chose'+'eel'='menchoseeel'
'menchoseeel' anagrammed gives 'LEMON CHEESE'.

(Other definitions for lemon cheese that I've seen before include "Conserve" , "Spread" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
