All Ed ordered was a spoon (5)
I believe the answer is:
ladle
'a spoon' is the definition.
(I know that ladle is a type of spoon)
'all ed ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'all'+'ed'='alled'
'alled' is an anagram of 'LADLE'.
'was' is the link.
(Other definitions for ladle that I've seen before include "Long-handled spoon for serving soup" , "Spoon - a dell (anag)" , "one in 10 [GRUEL] ?" , "give out" , "Large deep spoon for serving soup" .)
