Very soft bread dipped in gravy? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sop

'bread dipped in gravy?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'very soft' is the wordplay.
'very' becomes 'so' (I've seen this in other clues).
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano').
'so'+'p'='SOP'

(Other definitions for sop that I've seen before include "Concession made to pacify troublesome person" , "Minor concession" , "A concession or bribe, once offered to Cerberus" , "Appeasing bribe" , "Concession of philosophy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
