Mate carnally in a teeming lunchtime tube? (10,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alimentary canal

'lunchtime tube?' is the definition.
(passage which food travels down)

'mate carnally in a teeming' is the wordplay.
'teeming' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mate'+'carnally'+'in'+'a'='matecarnallyina'
'matecarnallyina' is an anagram of 'ALIMENTARY CANAL'.

(Another definition for alimentary canal that I've seen is " gut".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
