Rib cooked with English cheese (4)
I believe the answer is:
brie
'cheese' is the definition.
(I know that Brie is a cheese)
'rib cooked with english' is the wordplay.
'cooked with' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation as in OED).
'rib' anagrammed with 'e' makes 'BRIE'.
(Other definitions for brie that I've seen before include "dairy product" , "cheesy stuff" , "Food" , "Variety of cheese" , "Soft and creamy mild white cheese" .)
