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' indicates a hidden word.
'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.
