Like image showing pork pie ingredient (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspic

'pork pie ingredient' is the definition.
(jelly used in some meat products)

'like image' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'image' becomes 'pic' (I've seen this before).
'as'+'pic'='ASPIC'

'showing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aspic that I've seen before include "Savoury relish" , "Edible jelly" , "Ending of Marlowe's thriller" , "Savoury jelly used to coat eggs etc" , "Savoury jelly for coating meat, eggs etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
