&&&&&& (Food for thought here) (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

viands

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'food' is the first definition.
(I know that viands is a type of food)

'thought here' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
