Bangers and mash from a hospital chef for starters (10)

I believe the answer is:

chipolatas

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

'bangers and mash' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'from a hospital chef for starters' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates anagramming the letters (the anagram comes from the same letters).
'for starters' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'chef' is 'c'.
'a'+'hospital'+'c'='ahospitalc'
'ahospitalc' is an anagram of 'CHIPOLATAS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for chipolatas that I've seen is " Small, slim sausages".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
