Bother bishop over Filipino dish (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adobo

'filipino dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'bother bishop over' is the wordplay.
'bother' becomes 'ado' (both can mean fuss or commotion).
'bishop' becomes 'B' (abbreviation for bishop in chess).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'ado'+'b'+'o'='ADOBO'

(Other definitions for adobo that I've seen before include "Filipino meat dish" , "Filipino dish is served" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
