Comedian’s foil swapping a ring for daughter’s heavy food (6)

I believe the answer is:

stodge

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

'heavy food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for stodge that I've seen before include "Food that's hard to digest" , "Heavy solid food" , "Heavy filling food" , "Sticky stuff" , "Heavy pud" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
