Crossword Genius

Appeased with food (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peas

'food' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'appeased with' is the wordplay.
'with' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PEAS' is hidden in the letters of 'appeased'.

(Other definitions for peas that I've seen before include "Edible seeds" , "Leguminous seeds" , "birds" , "Green vegetable seeds" , "Leguminous plants" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
