Meat for a famous essayist (4)
I believe the answer is:
lamb
This might be a double definition.
'meat' is the first definition.
(lamb is a kind of meat)
'a famous essayist' is the second definition.
'lamb' can be an answer for 'essayist' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'a famous' bit.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lamb that I've seen before include "Mary, and Charles?" , "Young sheep" , "Meekest" , "Charles ---, essayist; meek animal" , "Young farm animal" .)
