Flatbread taken from fellow at lunchtime? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chapati

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

'flatbread' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'fellow at lunchtime?' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'chap' (both can mean a man).
'lunchtime?' becomes 'I' (one o'clock is I on a clock with Roman numerals).
'chap'+'at'+'i'='CHAPATI'

'taken from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chapati that I've seen before include "Unleavened bread of India" , "Unleavened bread of the subcontinent" , "Piece of bread (Indian)" , "Indian pancake" , "Indian food" .)
