Shred, as cheese (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grate

'shred as cheese' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for grate that I've seen before include "Rasp; fire holder" , "Make a harsh rasping sound" , "Firebasket" , "Shred; scrape" , "in which Santa lands?" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times, The New York Times and the Universal.
