See person scarper with vegetable (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mangetout

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'see person scarper' is the wordplay.
'see person' becomes 'man' (man is a kind of person).
'scarper' becomes 'getout' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'man'+'getout'='MANGETOUT'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mangetout that I've seen before include "Sugar peas" , "something on the plate" , "From this pod" , "Vegetable" , "Edible pea pods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
