Food also coming into view: no thanks (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

viands

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

'food' is the definition.
(viands is a kind of food)

'also coming into view no thanks' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'also' could be 'and' (both can mean in addition) and 'and' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'vis' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for viands that I've seen before include "Provisions, victuals" , "Supplies" , "Food items (archaic)" , "Articles of food found under divans" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
