Crossword Genius

Each land I wandered for dish (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enchilada

'dish' is the definition.
(enchilada is a kind of dish)

'each land i wandered' is the wordplay.
'wandered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'each'+'land'+'i'='eachlandi'
'eachlandi' is an anagram of 'ENCHILADA'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for enchilada that I've seen before include "spicy snack" , "spicy titbit" , "spicy dish" , "spicy food" , "Mexican food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
