Satisfied eating ace food (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meat

'food' is the definition.
(meat is a kind of food)

'satisfied eating ace' is the wordplay.
'satisfied' becomes 'met' ('meet' can be a synonym of 'satisfy').
'eating' indicates putting letters inside.
'ace' becomes 'a'.
'met' going around 'a' is 'MEAT'.

(Other definitions for meat that I've seen before include "Food for carnivores" , "Animal flesh as food" , "The flesh of animals as food" , "Edible flesh" , "Beef, chicken, pork etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
