Dashing lover left out popular oriental cold dish of meat? (9)

I believe the answer is:

galantine

'cold dish of meat?' is the definition.
(gallantine is a type of meat dish)

'dashing lover left out popular oriental' is the wordplay.
'dashing lover' becomes 'gallant' (gallant can mean a dashing young man).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'out' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'popular oriental' becomes 'ine' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gallant' with 'l' taken out is 'galant'.
'galant'+'ine'='GALANTINE'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
