Start missing a meal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lunch

'meal' is the definition.
(I know that lunch is a type of meal)

'start missing a' is the wordplay.
'start' becomes 'launch' (launching is a kind of starting).
'missing' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'launch' with 'a' removed is 'LUNCH'.

(Another definition for lunch that I've seen is " Midday meal".)
