Crossword Genius

Some salami served for cheapskate (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miser

'cheapskate' is the definition.
(cheapskate can mean a miserly person)

'some salami served for' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'MISER' is hidden within 'salami served for'.

(Other definitions for miser that I've seen before include "Niggardly person" , "Someone close" , "Wealth hoarder" , "Stingy person like Scrooge" , "Cheeseparing person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
