Sailor tucking into biscuits, quality items (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crackerjacks

'quality items' is the definition.
(crackerjack can mean an excellent thing)

'sailor tucking into biscuits' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'jack' (informal term for a sailor).
'tucking into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'biscuits' becomes 'crackers' (I've seen this before).
'jack' put within 'crackers' is 'CRACKERJACKS'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
