Snack is near to cook (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sarnie

'snack' is the definition.
(informal term for a sandwich)

'is near to cook' is the wordplay.
'to cook' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'near'='isnear'
'isnear' with letters rearranged gives 'SARNIE'.

(Other definitions for sarnie that I've seen before include "Bread and filling snack (informal)" , "Two slices of bread with a filling" , "Familiar form of snack" , "Sandwich (informal)" , "Sandwich (slang)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
