'dish' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'church official consuming for example revolting but endless' is the wordplay.
'church official' becomes 'verger' (type of church official).
'consuming' indicates putting letters inside.
'for example' becomes 'e.g.' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'revolting' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'eg' in reverse letter order is 'ge'.
'but' with its final letter taken away is 'bu'.
'ge'+'bu'='gebu'
'verger' going around 'gebu' is 'VEGEBURGER'.
