Everyone goes round and vegetarian food is provided (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shallots

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

'vegetarian food is provided' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'everyone goes round' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'goes' becomes 'shots' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'all' inserted into 'shots' is 'SHALLOTS'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
