Crossword Genius

Dish made by English on holiday (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tripe

'dish' is the definition.
(food product)

'english on holiday' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'holiday' becomes 'trip' (I've seen this before).
'e' put after 'trip' is 'TRIPE'.

'made by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tripe that I've seen before include "Edible lining of cow's stomach - rubbish" , "Edible entrails" , "Ox stomach as food - it's nonsense" , "Garbage" , "Balderdash" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
