Classic dish from UK: samosa spread (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moussaka

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

'classic dish' is the definition.
'moussaka' can be an answer for 'dish' (moussaka is a kind of dish). I'm unsure of the 'classic' bit.

'uk samosa spread' is the wordplay.
'spread' is an anagram indicator.
'uk'+'samosa'='uksamosa'
'uksamosa' with letters rearranged gives 'MOUSSAKA'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moussaka that I've seen before include "main course in Greece" , "Casserole of aubergine and ground lamb" , "Greek aubergine-based dish" , "Balkan dish of meat, aubergines, tomatoes and cheese" , "Dish of minced lamb with aubergines in a white sauce" .)
