Food gives us hiccups? Only a bit! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sushi

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

'gives us hiccups? only a bit' is the wordplay.
'only a bit' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'only a bit of' mean this).
'SUSHI' is hidden in the letters of 'gives us hiccups'.

(Other definitions for sushi that I've seen before include "exotic dish" , "Cold rice balls with raw fish" , "oriental dish" , "put away in Japan" , "Japanese rice and raw fish dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
