Comments from sheep about meat in islands (7)

I believe the answer is:

bahamas

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

'islands' is the definition.
(island nation)

'comments from sheep about meat in' is the wordplay.
'comments from sheep' becomes 'bas' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' becomes 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers).
'meat' becomes 'ham' (ham is a kind of meat).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a'+'ham'='aham'
'bas' going around 'aham' is 'BAHAMAS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bahamas that I've seen before include "Atlantic islands" , "warm country" , "WI island group" , "holiday destination" , "Island group between Haiti and Florida" .)
