'accompaniment to main course' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'bachelor studies brilliant featuring university' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'B' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'studies' becomes 'reads' ('read' can be a synonym of 'study').
'brilliant' becomes 'ace' (I've seen this before).
'featuring' is an insertion indicator.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'ace' enclosing 'u' is 'auce'.
'b'+'reads'+'auce'='BREAD SAUCE'
