Cheese and bread chopped up in real bags (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lancashire

'cheese' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bread chopped up in real bags' is the wordplay.
'bread' becomes 'cash' (I've seen this in another clue).
'chopped up' is an anagram indicator.
'bags' means one lot of letters goes inside another (bag can mean secures or steals).
'in'+'real'='inreal'
'inreal' with letters rearranged gives 'lanire'.
'cash' inserted within 'lanire' is 'LANCASHIRE'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for lancashire that I've seen before include "North-Western county" , "County of NW England" , "Crumbly white cheese" , "Part of country" , "Stew from the Northwest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
