A stolen trophy from Lancashire (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hotpot

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

'lancashire' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'a stolen trophy' is the wordplay.
'a stolen' becomes 'hot' (stolen goods are 'hot').
'trophy' becomes 'pot' (type of trophy).
'hot'+'pot'='HOTPOT'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hotpot that I've seen before include "Stew of meat and sliced potatoes" , "course" , "(Lancashire) stew" , "Lancashire casserole of meat and potatoes" , "Lancashire meat dish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
