Badly bake a bit of bread, and it's edible (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kebab

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

'it's edible' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'badly bake a bit of bread' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram (letters in the wrong order).
'a bit of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'bread' is 'b'.
'bake' with letters rearranged gives 'keba'.
'keba'+'b'='KEBAB'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kebab that I've seen before include "Food grilled on a skewer" , "Small pieces of meat and vegetables cooked on skewer" , "Shish dish" , "Meat preparation" , "Small pieces of meat and veg cooked on a skewer" .)
