Composer dropping in for something to eat (4)
I believe the answer is:
chop
'for something to eat' is the definition.
(chop is a kind of food)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chop that I've seen before include "Thick slice of meat including rib" , "Abolish, cut of meat" , "Cut of meat; hack" , "Hew" , "Karate punch" .)
