Dish seen in fine old dresser (8)
I believe the answer is:
macaroni
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'dish' is the first definition.
(type of pasta)
'fine old dresser' is the second definition.
(macaroni once meant a fashionable man)
'seen in' is the link.
(Other definitions for macaroni that I've seen before include "Italian fare" , "finishes off burlesque verse" , "Pasta variety, eighteenth century dandy" , "sort of pasta" , "Short thick tubes of pasta (8)" .)
