Starter of pork to feature in excellent meal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

supper

'meal' is the definition.
(I know that Supper is a type of meal)

'starter of pork to feature in excellent' is the wordplay.
'starter of' says to take the initial letters.
'to feature in' is an insertion indicator.
'excellent' becomes 'super' (I've seen this in other clues).
The first letter of 'pork' is 'p'.
'p' inserted within 'super' is 'SUPPER'.

(Other definitions for supper that I've seen before include "Early evening meal" , "Light evening meal" , "Light, late, meal" , "Late repast" , "Eats late" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
