Male jockeys tucked into cereal, a taboo food nowadays? (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whale meat

'a taboo food nowadays?' is the definition.
(controversial food)

'male jockeys tucked into cereal' is the wordplay.
'jockeys' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tucked into' is an insertion indicator.
'cereal' becomes 'wheat' (wheat is a kind of cereal).
'male' is an anagram of 'alem'.
'alem' put inside 'wheat' is 'WHALE-MEAT'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
