Crossword Genius

Gang pelt rocks and fruit (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eggplant

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

'gang pelt rocks' is the wordplay.
'rocks' is an anagram indicator.
'gang'+'pelt'='gangpelt'
'gangpelt' is an anagram of 'EGGPLANT'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eggplant that I've seen before include "Vegetable" , "US name for aubergine" , "Its fruit is aubergine" , "What goes into moussaka" , "It's also called aubergine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
