Hunk of stewed boar meat with date on top (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dreamboat

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

'stewed boar meat with date on top' is the wordplay.
'stewed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'on top' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'date' is 'd'.
'boar'+'meat'='boarmeat'
'boarmeat' with letters rearranged gives 'reamboat'.
'reamboat' put after 'd' is 'DREAMBOAT'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for dreamboat that I've seen before include "Very attractive man" , "captivating person of opposite sex" , "Mr Wonderful" , "Hunk" , "Dishy sort" .)
