Foreign bread from Quebec popular with sailor (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

qintar

'foreign bread' is the definition.
(currency of Albania)

'quebec popular with sailor' is the wordplay.
'quebec' becomes 'Q' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'sailor' becomes 'tar' (slang term for a sailor).
'q'+'in'+'tar'='QINTAR'

'from' acts as a link.

(Another definition for qintar that I've seen is " European greens".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
