Crossword Genius

Urge for food? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egg

This clue is a double definition.

'urge' is the first definition.
(as in egging someone on)

'food?' is the second definition.
(egg is a kind of food)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for egg that I've seen before include "Food from a hen" , "Incite; ovum" , "Source" , "Cooked breakfast staple" , "On the face, it's embarrassing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
