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

'cold lunches' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'some young guys from south australia' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is found in the answer.
'guys' could be 'lads' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'lads' is located in the answer.
'south' could be 's' (abbreviation) and 's' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
