Everybody goes round for food (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shallots

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

'everybody goes round for food' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'everybody goes round' is the wordplay.
'everybody' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'goes' becomes 'shots' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'all' put within 'shots' is 'SHALLOTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shallots that I've seen before include "Species of small onions" , "Onion-like plants with clusters of bulbs" , "Small, mild-flavoured, onion-like bulbs" , "vegetables" , "in the allotment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
