vegan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a choosy eater' is the definition.
'vegan' can be an answer for 'eater' (vegan is a kind of eater). I am not sure about the 'a choosy' bit.

'teenage visitor returned sandwiches' is the wordplay.
'sandwiches' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer is sandwiched in by the clue).
'returned' says the letters should be written backwards.
'nagev' is hidden within 'teenage visitor'.
'nagev' backwards is 'VEGAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vegan that I've seen before include "One not eating or using animal products" , "Avoider of animal products" , "One shunning animal products" , "Non-consumer of animal products" , "Strict abstainer from animal products" .)
