Son avoids fast food (4)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4

5

tuck

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

'son avoids fast' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's'.
'avoids' suggests deleting specific letters.
'fast' becomes 'stuck'.
'stuck' with 's' removed is 'TUCK'.

(Other definitions for tuck that I've seen before include "Fold into small space" , "Stitched fold in garment" , "Stitched fold; food" , "Dart" , "Pleat in garment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
