Small pig eating hybrid? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spork

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

'eating hybrid?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'small pig' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'pig' becomes 'pork'.
's'+'pork'='SPORK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for spork that I've seen is " part of canteen".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
