Food with fancy choc -- gin swilled to swallow it (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gnocchi

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

'food' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Starchy food' mean 'gnocchi' so perhaps 'food' could also mean 'gnocchi')

'fancy choc gin swilled to swallow it' is the wordplay.
'choc gin' can be anagrammed to 'GNOCCHI'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gnocchi that I've seen before include "Starchy food" , "simple meal?" , "Dough" , "Italian food" , "Pasta or potato dumplings" .)
