broadway

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

'where hams are on show' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'foreign street' is the wordplay.
'foreign' becomes 'broad' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'street' becomes 'way' (road way).
'broad'+'way'='BROADWAY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for broadway that I've seen before include "theatrical drag" , "Manhattan street" , "Large main road" , "that took in Chicago and Oklahoma!" , "General route" .)
