Food from tin enraged lion (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cannoli

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

'food' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'tin enraged lion' is the wordplay.
'tin' becomes 'can' (synonyms).
'enraged' is an anagram indicator.
'lion' with letters rearranged gives 'noli'.
'can'+'noli'='CANNOLI'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for cannoli that I've seen is " Dessert".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
