Dish to eat up with feed of drink (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tagine

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

'drink' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'dish to eat up with feed' is the wordplay.
'dish' becomes 'gin' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to eat' is an insertion indicator (word on the right has word on the left to eat).
'up with' says the letters should be written in reverse (move letters in down clue up).
'feed' becomes 'eat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'eat' written backwards gives 'tae'.
'gin' inserted into 'tae' is 'TAGINE'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tagine that I've seen is " Moroccan stew cooked in a pot with a conical lid".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
