Vegetables and cream evenly put on saucers (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

radishes

'vegetables' is the definition.
(radish is a kind of vegetable)

'cream evenly put on saucers' is the wordplay.
'evenly' indicates alternate letters (the letters in even-numbered positions).
'put on' says to put letters next to each other.
'saucers' becomes 'dishes' ('dish' can be a synonym of 'saucer').
The alternate letters of 'cream' are 'ra'.
'ra'+'dishes'='RADISHES'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for radishes that I've seen before include "Fleshy roots for salads" , "Salad vegetables" , "Pungent fleshy edible roots" , "Pungent roots for salads" , "Content of salad bowl" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
