Extremely full? Offer third piece of toast and margarine (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flora

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

'margarine' is the definition.
(I know that Flora is a type of margarine)

'extremely full? offer third piece of toast' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'piece' could be 'r' (abbreviation for Rook) and 'r' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
'offer third' could be 'f' (3rd letter of 'offer') and 'f' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'la' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
