'reluctantly perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'victor tucks into processed bread' is the wordplay.
'victor' becomes 'V' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'tucks into' is an insertion indicator.
'processed' indicates an anagram.
'bread' with letters rearranged gives 'aderb'.
'v' placed within 'aderb' is 'ADVERB'.
